**IMPORTANT*** for doubles events:

For all doubles events, the registration is not complete until BOTH PLAYERS HAVE REGISTERED SEPARATELY. To do this, each player must have their own player account set up on pickleballbrackets.com BEFORE the players begin the tournament registration process. A partner has 48 HOURS to register after their partner has registered. After 48 hours, the team risks being moved to the waitlist.

If an event is FULL: Make sure to join the waitlist! We may expand events as we get closer to the date!

To maintain the integrity of each event, The Pickleball Playground's tournament director reserves the right to use rating systems including but not limited to DUPR, pickleballbrackets.com, etc as well as a performance at the club to withdraw or change a player's registration status.
