DUPR REPORTING

Pickleball Brackets is integrated with DUPR - so all registrants MUST have a DUPR account (create a free account at www.mydupr.com) and that account MUST be connected to your Pickleball Brackets account in order to complete your registration.

When you register, you will be directed to Pickleball.com to connect your accounts. All games will automatically be submitted to DUPR at the completion of our tournament.

This is a team event. When registering, your teammate must register and pay within 5 days of your entry, or your team will be moved to the waiting list automatically. If you do not have a partner, please register as "Need a Partner".

Refund Policy

Full Refund Window (Until Friday, December 4th): Withdrawals made on or before our official registration closing date (December 4, 2026) will receive a full refund of registration and event fees minus the non-refundable Pickleball Brackets service fee ($5 for the first event, $10 max for multiple events), which is charged by the platform and cannot be refunded.

Late Withdrawal Window (After December 4th): Withdrawals made after the December 4th are non-refundable, as brackets and schedules will have already been generated.

Partner Substitutions: If your partner suffers an injury or conflict after the deadline, you may substitute a new player into your roster slot at no additional charge up until 2 hours before your bracket's scheduled start time, provided they meet the exact skill and age rating caps for that division.
