REGISTERING FOR AN EVENT
The skill level of players is determined by the data in their Pickleball Tournaments profile. The priority for determining a player's skill level is their Canadian Tournament Player Rating (CTPR). If that is lacking, then their DUPR rating, and if that is lacking, their self-rating will be used.
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.

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 a slot 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 15, 2025, 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.
