Age eligibility is based on December 31, 2026. The Tournament Director reserves the right to adjust formats, combine divisions, or modify start times based on registration. The Tournament Director also reserves the right to combine or split age brackets as needed.
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 neither partner has registered and paid within that window, the team will be moved to the waitlist.
Spectators are welcome but must not interfere with gameplay. Spectators must remain in the bleachers or around the outside of the sport box.
