Join us for the Pink Paddle Battle for Cancer Support, a pickleball tournament bringing players and the community together to raise funds cancer support. A portion of all event proceeds will be donated to support HopeWell. In addition, we’ll be holding a special raffle featuring a JOOLA paddle and JOOLA bag, with 100% of the raffle proceeds also going directly to the cause.

Tournament Format
All divisions will begin with round robin play, ensuring multiple matchups and plenty of playtime for every team. Results will be submitted to DUPR and the top four teams from each division will advance to the semifinals.
Why We Play
Proceeds from this event will benefit, supporting people with cancer in treatment, long-term survivorship, or facing the end of life. Let’s honor the fighters, celebrate survivors, and remember those we’ve lost—all through the game we love.
***IMPORTANT*** The registration is not complete for all doubles events until BOTH PLAYERS have been registered SEPARATELY and PAID. 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. Please only register to events that match your player rating. No sandbagging, please.
If an event is FULL, make sure to join the waitlist! We may be able to expand events as we get closer to the date, and will only take players on the waitlist to fill spots.
Based on registration numbers, the registration maximum number for specific events may be subject to change at any time during the registration process.
Players can only register for a single event in each grouping (singles, doubles or mixed doubles).
