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
