Dinky Cincy will crown the best of the best in Singles, Gender Doubles, and Mixed Doubles. This biannual bash is all pickleball and all Queen City.

Format: Round Robin. Brackets will be split into two or more pools. In this format, you will play all other teams in your pool. We will then take the top finishers in each pool and play a single elimination medal bracket for Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Cost: $60 for one event; $15 for an additional event. The Pickle Lodge reserves the right to merge, split and/or move players and teams between skill levels.

For a guaranteed spot in Mixed Doubles or Doubles, your partner must register and pay within three days of your registration. Incomplete teams will be moved to the waiting list automatically after that three-day grace period. Once the second partner registers and pays, the team will be moved back into the event if there are spots remaining in the tournament.

Please note that the service fee of $5 (if playing one event) or $10 (if playing in 2 or more events) is non-refundable. That service fee, added by Pickleball.com, is applied to ALL players playing an event on PickleballTournaments.com or PickleballBrackets.com.

For withdrawals on or before March 28, 2025, there will be an additional $10 processing charge that will not be refunded. That simply covers the cost/handling of credit card processing.

No refunds or credits for withdrawals after March 28, 2025, for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to injury, sickness or work obligations.

Registration monies are non-transferable.
