Welcome to the 1st Annual Georgia Pickleball Association TitleTown Throwdown in Valdosta Ga. This year's event will be held at the Harry B. Anderson Tennis Center. The tournament is hosted by the TitleTown Pickleball Club.
Registration fee is $25 and includes both events. Participants must also be a member of the Georgia Pickleball Association (GPA). The GPA annual membership fee is $20 and may be purchased during the tournament registration process.
The schedule is as follows:
Saturday June 12th Women's Doubles, Men's Doubles
Sunday June 13th Mixed Doubles
Format is Round Robin. Your team will play one match against every other team in your bracket.
Brackets of 5 or more teams: Each match will be one game to 15, win by 2.
Brackets of 3 or 4 teams: Each match will be 2 out of 3 games to 11, win by 2.
Brackets of more than 8 teams may be split into pools.
Brackets will be assigned designated courts for the entire bracket. Teams will return to the tournament desk after their bracket is complete. The top teams from each bracket will then participate in the medal games,
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 (Recreational),3.0, 3.5, 4.0
Age groups are 49 & Under, 50+
A team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player (or higher) and the age group of the younger player.
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 is a slot available and both teams have paid. If a player needs a partner, the team will automatically move from the wait list to the active list once a partner is identified, registers, and both players have paid if there is an available slot to move to. NOTE: Your spot in the tournament is not guaranteed until your partner has registered and all fees have been paid in full.
There are no referees. Matches are self-monitored. If a referee is requested, we will do our best to provide one.
