Top 24 pros as determined by the World Pickleball Rating and US Open seeding committee will automatically be in the main draw. Main draw will consist of the Top 24 pros and 8 qualifiers for a 32 bracket draw.

NOTE: Players wanting to play pro and sign up for pro must play all pro. Players may NOT play both amateur and pro events.
Since there is no world pickleball ranking system we won't be looking at top 50 this year. However if a player is rated 5.5 or higher we wouldn't allow participation in amateur events.
