OPEN events qualification: Players with a 4.5 from a recognized rating authority (WPR, UTPR, DUPR) will have priority for OPEN events. At least one player must have 4.5 rating. Teams with a cumulative rating of less than 4.5 may be moved to a waitlist to accommodate higher rated teams.

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

RATINGS: Players must register at or above the higher of their UTPR, WPR, DUPR, or self rating.

About your rating: Please play at your rating. Do not sand bag. If you do not know your rating, please seek out a qualified teacher, coach or player who can appropriately assess all the skills that are under the USA pickleball guidelines as well as the many subtle things that make up a rating as well.

Players are expected to assess their individual skills objectively and register in events that reflect the skill of the stronger player regardless of their actual rating. Tournament Director reserves the right to disqualify any team from playing in an event where that team could reasonably be expected to have a significant skill advantage over other teams in the bracket.

Please honor this as we want to have levels and play to be competitive and fun for all players. This tournament will NOT have age divisions. All players will be playing their level, regardless of age.
