ENTRY FEES
The entry fee is $40 per player for one event.
Players who wish to compete in multiple events may add additional events for $20 per event.
All players must register individually through PickleballBrackets.com and complete payment before the tournament. Both partners on a team must register and pay separately before the team is eligible to compete.
Please note that PickleballBrackets.com charges a $5 service fee, which is separate from the tournament entry fee.
DIVISION PLACEMENT
All divisions will be monitored by staff to help keep play fair and balanced. DUPR ratings and LNPC ratings may be used when reviewing division placement.
Players may be moved into the appropriate division based on skill level. If partners’ skill levels are not equal, the team will be placed in the division of the higher-rated player.
This is to help prevent sandbagging and create the best possible matchups throughout the tournament.

Check-in opens 30 minutes before each division start time.
All teams are guaranteed 5 matches.
Round Robin Play: Games to 11, win by 2
