Team participants must register individually and list team partner in registration

===================================

Day of play:

Player sign-in begins 30 minutes before tournament play each day

Do not leave the event without checking to see if you are in or out of the tournament! This is particularly a problem in POOL PLAY. IF YOU LEAVE WITHOUT CHECKING, and you are subsequently ADDED to the bracket, we WILL NOT wait for you to return, but forfeit your match!!! Thank you for understanding.

Important Paddle Information:

We will be using the USAP Approved Paddle List EXCEPT for the following two paddles:

---> Joola MOD TA-15

---> Joola Gen 3s

---> Gearbox Pro Power (NOT Control)

EXCEPTION - These paddles are NOT banned for the following Open divisions:

-Men/Women/Mixed Doubles Open

-Men/Women Singles Open

DUPR Rating will be used to create brackets.

PickleballBrackets.com has converted to using DUPR ratings rather than UTPR. DUPR is generally a little higher than UTPR, so you may want to consider playing in the next higher division (for example, the 4.0 bracket will now force high 3.5 UTPR players into the 4.0 bracket IF THEIR DUPR is 4.0 or above).

You must LINK your DUPR to PickleballBrackets.com in order to play!

Cancellations will be accepted up to Decmeber 2nd, subject to a $25 handling charge. No refunds after that date for any reason.
