FAQs

My partner is a different age or skill level than me. What division do we sign up for?

You must register based on the higher rated skill level and the age of the younger player.

Why can’t I sign up for or view certain divisions?

Check your DUPR rating and self-rating on your pickleballtournaments.com profile. If your self-rating or DUPR rating is 3.5 or higher, for example, you will not be able to view or register for divisions rated 3.499 and below.

7+ teams/players: Full cash prizes are awarded.
