PLEASE NOTE: Age groups and/or skill levels may be merged or split to fill events for Round Robin play. ANY event with at least 2 teams will later be separated for the Single-Elimination Medal Bracket to ensure all teams have a chance to medal at their own age/skill. Registering for this tournament means you accept this may happen.
PAYMENT/PARTNER POLICY: When you register, your partner will have 10 days to sign up or you will be moved to the waitlist. You do not have to pay at the time of registration. However, if payment is not received by 11:59pm on July 5, 2026 you will be moved to the waitlist. Players not paid and without registered and paid partners will be moved to a wait list if the division in which a spot is being held is filled with full registered and paid teams by 7/5/2026.
WAITING LIST: If the event you want to play is full, we encouraged you to register for the waitlist. VERY OFTEN we find a way to get you in!!
TIMES WILL NOT BE POSTED UNTIL REGISTRATION CLOSES AND TOURNAMENT LAYOUT IS FINISHED. Please keep this in mind. We will do our best to communicate play times as soon as we have the schedule finalized.
Ball: The official 2026 Victory Pickleball Series ball is the Lifetime LT Pro 48 Pickleball.
DUPR: Players will be restricted access to events that match their DUPR. a "3.0" event means a player can't be above a 3.499 to qualify. We will make exceptions using the 80% Rule: If a player has a reliability of LOWER than 80%, they may play down ONE skill level. For instance: A player has a DUPR of 4.301 but a reliability of 58%. This qualifies as "under 80% reliability" and the player may play down a maximum of ONE level. Since a DUPR of 4.301 would allow a player to play as low as 4.0, the 80% Rule allows them to play down one level to 3.5. There will be no opportunity to play lower than one skill level down, even with a reliability of 1%. The date a player registers is the timestamp for their DUPR for the tourney. They may go down, or up, after registering and that will NOT affect their existing registration.
The 80% Rule provides players the best likelihood of playing others with similar skill levels in each event. Unfortunately there is no way to screen DUPR reliability during signups, so any application of the 80% Rule will require contacting the Tournament Director (kevinmhuff@gmail.com) for a quick review and then manual entry into the event(s).
DUPR submission: All games will be put in DUPR.
