Initial Information:

Welcome to the 2nd annual NOT'lanta Open: The Montclair Championships in Augusta, Georgia. The inaugural event was birthed last year when the Atlanta Open was cancelled due to covid. Many who had planned to attend the Atlanta Open decided to plan our own smaller event, hence the name, NOT'lanta Open. The Montclair courts offered the ideal outdoor location where we could play safely and offer sanitation and social distancing practices. Immediately following the successful event, we decided to make it an annual affair!

Montclair Pickleball is a private neighborhood venue in West Augusta. We are resurfacing and adding courts in April. In time for the tournament, we will have 6 permanent courts and 2 temporary courts (portable nets).

Registration fee is $40 plus $10 for each event.

Friday, May 14 - Women's Doubles, Men's Singles, Social

Saturday, May 15 - Mixed Doubles

Sunday, May 16 - Men's Doubles, Women's Singles

Format is Round Robin. Your team will play one match against every other team in your bracket. Max of 8 teams per bracket.

Brackets of 5 or more teams: Each match will be one game to 15, win by 2.

Brackets of 3 or 4 teams: Each match will be 2 out of 3 games to 11, win by 2.

Brackets will be assigned designated courts for the entire bracket. Teams will return to the tournament desk after their bracket is complete for presentation of awards.

Brackets will be limited to 8 teams. As registration proceeds, tournament management reserves the option to combine brackets as needed if brackets do not fill.

If brackets are combined to create playable brackets, awards will be based on the original division and not the combined bracket. Brackets will be combined by age if possible to avoid combining skills.

Skills levels include 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5+.

Age groups are 16+, 60+.

A team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player (or higher) and the age group of the younger player.

You may register and identify your partner or request "Need partner". Your partner must register within five days of your registration or the team will be moved to the wait list. When the identified partner registers after the five day grace period, the team will automatically move from the wait list back to the active list if there is a slot available and both teams have paid. If a player needs a partner, the team will automatically move from the wait list to the active list once a partner is identified, registers, and both players have paid if there is an available slot to move to. NOTE: Your spot in the tournament is not guaranteed until your partner has registered and all fees have been paid in full.

There are no referees. Matches are self-monitored. If a referee is requested, we will do our best to provide one.
