USAP 2026 Pickleball Rules will govern play, however, this is not a USAP sanctioned event.
iPickle retains right to make exceptions to USAP rules in its sole discretion to ensure fun and fair competition for all (eg. we might award two teams the same medal in the event we have made an administrative error in tabulating results).
ONLY USAP approved paddles allowed.
Please note: all players are required to ensure their paddles are USA Pickleball approved. Players found to be using delisted or unapproved paddles will be required to change paddles and risk forfeiting games played. Tournament staff reserve the right to disallow paddles that are brought to their attention by players that are visibly damaged, delaminated or treated in a way that may affect their original paddle approval.
Pro Open division players risk forfeiting prize money and medals if an infraction has occurred but not brought to our attention
until after play has completed (subject to Tournament Director discretion).

Players should register for a free DUPR account if they have not done so already at MyDupr.com. You will also need to join the iPickle DUPR Club, which can be found at this link. Neither player on a team may have a DUPR rating higher than the division entered (eg. a 3.5 male may not play in 3.5 mixed division with a 4.05 woman as the woman is not eligible).
For Divisions 4.0 and above, teams must have an average DUPR rating of 1.0 of the division level to participate.If a player registers for a division that their DUPR rating does not qualify for, they will be automatically moved to the appropriate division based on their rating. DUPR ratings will be verified and set at the time of registration. We will not be changing DUPRs after registration whether your DUPR goes up or down.
