Start times may be adjusted based on registration volume to ensure competitive and enjoyable play.
All players must be active members of Pickleball Canada. Registration is through Pickleball Tournaments, and both partners must have accounts. Once one partner registers, the second partner must complete their registration within 2 days. If both partners have not registered and paid within that window, the team will be moved to the waitlist. This includes individuals who sign up as 'Need a Partner'.
Skill levels will follow DUPR ratings. Players may play up in skill level but not down. Age eligibility is based on December 31, 2025. The Tournament Director reserves the right to adjust formats, combine divisions, or modify start times based on registration.
Spectators are welcome but must not interfere with game play.
<b>Our goal is to include as many teams as possible in every category.</b>
