For those who have played in previous Mt Vernon tournaments, this tournament is being played at a different park and all courts run in a preferred north/south direction versus the previous tournaments where courts ran east/west. Like most indoor tennis facilities, these outdoor courts are shared with a local junior tennis program so there are lines for both pickleball and tennis. The pickleball lines are bright orange so you'll have no problem seeing them and these have 14 ft between courts and 8 ft behind the baseline so plenty of room unlike some courts.
Each player is eligible to play in a max of two divisions that meets their age and skill requirements, with one being a gender division and the other a mixed doubles division.
Players may not enter two different skill levels in the same event.
Tournament Director reserves the right to modify format of play based on participation or weather conditions, to complete matches in a timely manner.
Fewer than 3 teams/players will be moved into another bracket, if possible. The number of teams or players will determine the format of play.
For new players with no rating, the PickleballBrackets.com self-rating will be used.
Players who have official USAPA UTPR ratings but NO PickleballBrackets.com rating, MUST self-rate using their UTPR rating.
The tournament directors reserve the right to move players and teams to appropriate skill levels
There are two options for players who are fully registered and paid but are without a partner:
a. If you wish to partner with someone who is already registered for the tournament or is currently on the waiting list, contact the Tournament Director, using the Contact Tourney button above, with all of the details and you will be matched up.
b. If you wish to partner with someone who is not currently registered or on the waiting list, that player must create a PickleballBrackets.com account. You can then contact the Tournament Director, using the Contact Tourney button above, with all of the details and you will be matched up. That partner may not enter any other events.
If you are replacing a partner who is withdrawing, that partner must confirm their withdrawal first.
Once all currently registered and paid players are set up in their events, we will contact waiting list players if there is still space and time available in the schedule.
Age is calculated as of 12/31/2021.
