REGISTERING FOR AN EVENT
Registration is online only at https://pickleballtournaments.com/
All registrants must be current members of Pickleball Canada to play in this tournament. To join or renew your membership, please visit the PCO website at https://pickleballcanada.org/participate/individual-membership/join-renew/ Pickleball Canada's online waiver will be used.
NEW THIS YEAR 💥 - A player's DUPR rating on the day of registration will be used for registration. Tournament results will be uploaded to DUPR and to Pickleball Canada. All registrants will need a Pickleball Tournaments profile and a DUPR profile to register. MAKE SURE TO CREATE YOUR PROFILES BEFORE REGISTRATION OPENS. You cannot register for the tournament unless both you and your partner have these TWO profiles.
In previous years, events have filled up very quickly, with subsequent registrants being placed on the Wait List. Team placement into an event is based on the time of registration of the first team member for the event; however, if the second team member does not register within 24 HOURS of the first registration, then that team will be moved onto the WAIT LIST. The software lists teams on the waitlist in alphabetical order of the first person of the team who registered. NOT IN ORDER OF REGISTRATION date/time. Teams are moved from the waitlist onto the active list in chronological order.
The following Events will be held on Saturday, May 2:
Men’s Doubles 3.5 (start time 8:00 am)
Women's Doubles 4.0 (start time 8:00 am))
