Description
The 2024 year-end Pickleball Kelowna Club Fall Frenzy Tournament celebrates PKC's 2024 season, so let's get together and celebrate!
This tourney is a keep-your-partner ROUND ROBIN format.
Results WILL affect your overall Pickleball Brackets rating.
Register into your SKILL level... Men's, Women's and Mixed skill brackets: 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0
AGE SPLITS will be determined AFTER registration completes, based on actual ages of participants for brackets with more than 5 teams.
Players will be divided into groups of 5 teams with the age of the youngest player determining which age group the team will be in. For example, if in the 3.0 skill level there is a cap of 15 teams then the five youngest teams would be in the first skill/age bracket, then the next five youngest teams in the 2nd age group, and the final oldest five in the 3rd age group.
