Additional Information

Brackets and registration are based on your DUPR rating. Please register for the appropriate bracket based on your DUPR rating. If you do not have a DUPR rating, we suggest you sign up. In the case of players that do not have a DUPR rating, they will register under their pickleballbrackets rating. As always, you can play up in skill level but cannot play down. For example, if you are a 3.5 but your partner is a 4.2 you would play in the 4.000-4.499 bracket.
RULES
While this tournament isn’t sanctioned, we’ll be adhering to USA Pickleball rules, including using only UPA or USAPA approved paddles.

Refund Policy

There will be no refunds given after registration closes on August 31, 2025.
Any refunds given will be the original amount minus any pickleballbrackets fees ($5 per registered bracket).
If you need a replacement partner after registration closes, please contact us. If a replacement player is found, the original player's fee will be refunded as long as the replacement player pays the registration. All replacement players must be eligible for the original bracket or the team will be moved. For example, if you are in the 3.500-3.999 bracket and try to substitute a 4.3 player, you will be moved into the 4.000-4.499 bracket.
