Saturday, May 1, 2021, 8am - 7pm - Men's and Women's Doubles

Sunday, May 2, 2021, 8am - 7pm - Mixed Doubles

The 300 Club has 6 dedicated pickleball courts with portable nets for use during the tournament.

Balls will be Franklin X-40.

This will be a round robin tournament with combinations of skill and age. All games are win by 2 points.

Each bracket for Men's and Women's Doubles is currently capped at 6 teams, while Mixed Doubles is capped at 8 teams except for the 19-49 4.5+ which is capped at 6 teams. Additional teams may be added later depending on demand. Brackets are subject to change depending on registrants.

Age groups are 19-49, 50-59, and 65+ for most skill levels. Ages 19-49 will have one bracket of 4.5+, other age groups will have 4.0 and 4.5 grouped together.

Age is calculated as of 12/31/2021.

Each team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player or higher and the age of the younger player.

Skill levels are: 3.0 to 3.5, 4.0 (to 4.5 in higher age groups), and 4.5+ (age 19-49). We will be using self-rating; PLEASE BE COURTEOUS TO OTHERS AND ACCURATELY RATE YOURSELF.

Brackets will be assigned designated courts for the entire bracket. Teams will return to the tournament desk after their bracket has been completed to determine winners and present awards.

No matches at this tournament will have referees. This tournament is not sanctioned by the USAPA.
