Registration is online only. For all events, registration is not complete until BOTH partners have registered, and PAID the entrance fees.

**Please note that PickleballBrackets.com service fees($5 per event) are NON REFUNDABLE.

All players must complete their registration by May 23, 2025 @ 11:55 pm.

For all Doubles events, players may enter as a team or look under "Players Needing Partners" to find a partner. PLEASE NOTE: If a partner has not completed their registration within 7 days of the first partner registering, the team will be automatically moved to the waitlist. When the identified partner registers after the 7 day period, the team will automatically move from the waitlist back to the active list.

If a player is in a bracket but does NOT have a partner by the end of registration (5/23/25), that player will be moved to the wait list. At this point, the player will NOT be part of the bracket BUT someone may pick up this person as a partner if they are in need of a teammate.

In the case of waitlists, teams will take priority over individuals.

COMPLETE registration means both team members have gone thru the registration process AND have paid in full. City of Prescott Parks and Rec waivers will need to be signed online when you register.

The Tournament Committee reserves the right to place players in the Skill Group based on their current club rating and/or Round Robin group participation. The Tournament Committee has the right to make changes to the tournament, combine divisions, or change and alter the format depending on the number of registrations received. Again, for merged brackets, only be ONE set of medals will be awarded.

Registrants withdrawing before May 20th, 2025 @ 11:55 pm will be refunded (minus the PickleballBrackets.com service fee of $5 per registered event). There will be NO refunds after that date.
