Welcome to the 1st GO. ALL. OUT. Pickleball Tournament. Nestled in the foothills of the scenic Appalachian Mountains, Johnson City, Tennessee combines big-city amenities, small-town Southern charm, and world-class outdoor recreation into a travel destination for everyone. When players aren't on the pickleball court, they will have plenty of opportunities to explore Johnson City's hip downtown or hike/bike some of the town's many trails.
This tournament is a Southern Pickleball/ Tennessee Pickleball Association Sanctioned Tournament. In addition all 50+ divisions are part of the USSP (United States Senior Pickleball) Tour.
Registration Cost is $55 and includes one event and a Free T-Shirt. Additional events are $15.
The schedule is as follows:

Sunday April 23rd Men's and Women's Doubles - 15+, 35+ and 50+ age brackets
Competition each day may begin as early as 8:00 AM. Specific start times for each event will be posted and emailed to players approximately one week prior to the event. Players participating in the senior events on Friday may also play in the double events on Sunday.
Format of play will be round robin followed by medal brackets or medal matches.
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 original division and not the combined bracket. Brackets will be combined by age if possible to avoid combining skills.
Skills levels include 2.5,3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5+.
Age groups are 19+, 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 12/31/2023.
