Welcome to the second annual Komodo Pickleball Tournament!
Last year, the Komodo Open hosted 265 players and nearly 800 games across 3 days of nonstop pickleball - this year, we're excited to up the ante even further with a 5-day tournament, now offering expanded brackets specifically for our senior and junior players!
TOURNAMENT FORMAT: Pool play in ALL divisions. Teams will play 3-5 seeding matches in 1-3 randomly generated pools based on bracket size, followed by an elimination bracket. Teams advancing to single elimination playoff rounds will be seeded by total record with all pools combined. Bronze medal match will be played by losers of the semifinal round. FOUR GAME GUARANTEE!
Tournament director reserves the right to split or combine brackets as needed to ensure balanced bracket sizes and a guaranteed four games per team.
DIVISIONS: Skill-based brackets in singles, mixed doubles, and gendered doubles will range from 3.0 (Beginner) to 5.0+/Open (Professional). Additional age-based brackets will be offered for our senior divisions (50+) and junior divisions (under 16).
Junior players are welcome to also register for the standard brackets, but these entries will not be at the discounted junior rate.
CASH PRIZES: Cash will be awarded to winners in ALL regular bracket skill levels, with a total payout of over $15,000. Junior tournament prizes will be Komodo paddles, bags, and swag.
PERKS: All registrants will receive a FREE swag bag with gear provided by Komodo Pickleball and our generous sponsors.
