REGISTERING FOR AN EVENT
This is a Pickleball Canada-sanctioned tournament. All registrants MUST have a valid Pickleball Canada membership to play in this tournament. NOTE: Please ensure your Pickleball Canada membership number and skill level are up to date in your Pickleball Tournaments profile before registering for this tournament. If you are not a Pickleball Canada member, you can become a member at https://pickleballcanada.org/
The skill level of players is determined by the data in their DUPR profile; if that is lacking, their self-rating will be used.
Registration is online only at https://pickleballtournaments.com/. Online payment via Stripe. Stripe accepts credit card payments. When the maximum per event is reached based on fully registered/paid teams, others will be added to the waitlist.
Enter as a TEAM and make sure your partner registers and pays within 3 days of you registering. If a partner has not completed his/her registration within 3 days of the first partner registering, the team will be moved to the Waitlist. When the identified partner registers and pays, the team will be moved from the waitlist back to the active list ONLY if space is available. Confirm with your partner BEFORE registration to avoid disappointment. If you do not have a partner, you can click on “Players Needing a Partner” to possibly find one. The tournament committee does not find partners for players.
All players must complete their registration by August 21, 2026, at 8:00 p.m., to remain on the Active List. COMPLETE means BOTH partners have agreed to the PCO waiver, and paid registration fees IN FULL.
DISCLAIMER
The Tournament Committee reserves the right to place players in the Skill Group based on their current DUPR skill rating at the time of registration.
The Tournament Committee reserves the right to make changes to the tournament, such as:
- Combine or change age categories
- Change the format depending on the number of registrations received
