Tournament Description

Welcome, Picklers!

The Battle of the Paddle pickleball tournament is back and will be held from Friday, April 21 to Sunday, April 23 at the Pinetree Community Centre in Coquitlam, BC.

And "No", we will not be using green tape. We are experimenting with different colours, but our tape will be a bright colour this year.

Event Registration Policy

Our policy is that in order to register for an event, at least one player must be rated at a particular skill level and the other player may be rated one skill level below. For example, to enter a 4.0 event, one player may have a 3.5 rating, but his/her partner must have a 4.0 rating. A team that has two 3.5 players may not register for a 4.0 event and must register in the 3.5 event.

You will register with pickleballbrackets, but NOT pay via pickleballbrackets. Please see "Additional Information" for payment instructions.

PCO Membership

ALL participants must have a current Pickleball Canada (PCO) Membership to play in this tournament. To avoid registration complications, we highly recommend that you have an active, paid for PCO membership before registration opens on Feb. 1, 2023.

As indicated above, Registration will be handled by Pickleball Brackets and opens Feb 1, 2023, at 9:00 AM

Unless we combine or cancel events due to a low number of teams in particular events, event brackets will be:

Men’s and Women's Singles

3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 on Friday, April 21

Men’s and Women’s Doubles

3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5. and 5.0 on Saturday, April 22

Mixed Doubles

3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 on Sunday, April 23

We will be using the Onix Fuse ball (orange) generously provided by Onix Canada.

Doors to the gymnasium will open at 3:15 p.m. on Friday and at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Plan to arrive at the venue 30 minutes prior to the start of your event to allow time for check-in, warm-up and to prepare for your first match.

Spectators are welcome to attend. Masks are optional.

Additional Information

Enter as a team and make sure your partner registers within one day of you registering or you will automatically be removed from the event and put on the waitlist. Priority will be given to full teams who have completed their registration. If you are on the waitlist, and your partner registers, you will be added to the event provided there is space.

COMPLETE registration means: Both partners have registered, signed the waiver and paid in full.

FYI: Pickleball Brackets lists teams on the waitlist in alphabetical order of the first person of the team that registered. NOT IN ORDER OF REGISTRATION. However, teams will be moved from the waitlist into the event in order of registration! This is a feature of Pickleball Brackets and is out of our control.

You are guaranteed to play, at least, two matches or two games to 11 and one game to 15, per event.
