REGISTRATION:
You may register and identify your partner or request "Need partner". Your partner must register within five days of your registration or the team will be moved to the wait list. When the identified partner registers after the five day grace period, the team will automatically move from the wait list back to the active list, IF THERE ARE SPOTS REMAINING IN THE BRACKET AND THE TOURNAMENT. You must register individually not as a team. NOTE: Your spot in the tournament is not guaranteed until your partner has registered and all fees have been paid in full.
The schedule is as follows:
Friday October 4th, 2024 Women's Doubles
Saturday October 5th , 2024 Mixed Doubles
Sunday October 6th, 2024 Mens Doubles.
Specific start times for each event will be posted and players notified via text and email 3 days prior to the event. Your team will compete against every other team in your bracket.
Format is Round Robin.
Brackets of 4 teams: Double Round Robin. Each match will be one game to 11, win by 1.
Brackets of 5 teams: Single Round Robin. Each match will be one game to 15, win by 1.
Brackets of 6 teams or more: Single Round Robin. Each match will be one game to 11, win by 1.
As registration proceeds, tournament management reserves the option to combine brackets as needed if brackets do not fill. If brackets are combined to create playable brackets, awards will be based on the combined bracket. Brackets will be combined by age if possible to avoid combining skills.
Age groups will be added/removed as dictated by registration with the intent to keep brackets at a maximum of 8 teams, and a goal to provide at least 4 games for each team entered. Tournament directors reserve the right to change format as needed.
Skills levels include 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5+.
Age groups are 34 and Under , 35+, 50+, 60+, 70+
A team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player (or higher) and the age group of the younger player. Age is calculated as of the end of the year.
RATINGS
- PickleballBrackets.com ratings will be used.
- Players with a UTPR or DUPR that is higher than their Georgia Pickleball Association calculated tournament rating may be moved to the higher level at the discretion of the tournament director.
Matches are self-monitored. A referee will be onsite during play, and if requested, can be available to monitor specific games.
