REGISTRATION DETAILS
Event Registration Policy
IMPORTANT!: Tournament Director may move your team to another bracket (lower or higher skill levels) based on your ratings, our knowledge, and for any other reasons. No refund will be allowed in case you are moved to a different bracket.
Online payment via Pickleball Brackets. Early-bird discount ends on September 26, 2025.
Registration is not complete until BOTH partners have registered, agreed to the tournament waiver, and paid all fees owing. Discount codes are for the MTP Members ONLY and will be verified (Active MTP membership is required on the day of matches). Registration is limited in each event.
Singles brackets and Moneyball have additional fees of $10–$15 to cover prize money and court usage.
Competition courts will only be available for warm up 20-min prior to the start of the events each day. After the tournament has started, warm ups are restricted to the narrow warm-up court near the Front Desk. This helps us stay on schedule. Plan to arrive at the venue 30 minutes prior to the start of your event to allow time for check-in, warm-up and to prepare for your first match.
** DUPR Rating Policy for Bracket Placement **
Singles: Any player with a DUPR rating more than 0.10 above the bracket limit will be moved to the next higher bracket.
For example:
If your rating is 4.05, you may play in the 3.5–4.0 bracket.
If your rating is 4.10, you must register for the 4.0–4.5 bracket.
Doubles: The combined DUPR of both players cannot be more than double the bracket’s upper limit. No individual player may have a DUPR more than 0.20 above the bracket’s upper limit: even if the team total is within range.
For Example in a 3.5–4.0 bracket:
The team’s total DUPR can’t exceed 8.0.
A player rated 4.18 can only partner with someone 3.82 or lower.
A player rated 4.21 cannot play in this bracket at all, regardless of their partner's rating.
Age-Based Allowance (50+ and 14 & Under)
Players who are 50-years and older or 14-years and under are granted a 0.39 DUPR allowance.
For example:
A 51-year-old or 14-year-old player with a DUPR of 3.89 is allowed to play in the 3.0–3.5 bracket.
Doubles Age-Based Allowance:
The 0.39 allowance is for individuals only, not teams. It does not stack — two senior players on the same team don’t get extra room. The team’s total rating must still follow the normal combined DUPR limit.
Example:
In a 3.0–3.5 bracket:
A senior rated 3.89 can team up with a partner rated 3.5 (total = 7.39) ✔️
But two players both rated 3.89, regardless of age, cannot play together (total = 7.78) ❌
Please ensure your registration complies with these guidelines.
