Enhancing Your Tournament Experience: With years of experience playing in pickleball tournaments and running them, we’re dedicated to providing the best possible experience for every player. Here’s what you can expect from our tournament:

Round Robin Play: Most brackets are run as Round Robin, followed by a single-elimination playoff for the top teams, ensuring every player gets 4 to 8 games (see full details below).
Dedicated Courts: We assign exclusive courts to each Round Robin bracket, so you won’t need to move between courts and can complete your bracket efficiently.
Fair Play: We carefully monitor all brackets to prevent sandbagging by reviewing players' DUPR, PBR, and tournament histories (see details below).
Amazing Prizes: Winners will take home medals and exciting prizes from our sponsors, including paddles, pickleball bags, water bottles, gift certificates for pickleball gear and restaurants, and more! Last year, our Delray Beach tournament awarded $19,787 in amateur prizes across all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
Tournament Shirts: Players can choose from a variety of tournament shirt styles, including short sleeve, racerback, muscle shirt, long sleeve, or quarter-zip.
Live Streaming: We know you love to watch your matches! We live stream and record multiple courts on the Pickleball is Life YouTube channel and Facebook Page. Many of the matches will be available to watch after the tournament.
Player Hospitality: Enjoy complimentary snacks, fruit, and water in our well-stocked hospitality tent, available to all players.
