Welcome to the 3rd annual NOT'lanta Open: The Montclair Championships in Augusta, Georgia. The inaugural event was birthed in 2020 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 have 6 permanent courts and 2 temporary courts (portable nets).
Registration fee is $45 plus $10 for each event.
Friday, May 13 - Women's Doubles, Men's Singles, Social
Saturday, May 14 - Mixed Doubles
Sunday, May 15 - Womens Singles, Men's Doubles
Registration expectations- A team must register at the skill level of the higher skilled player (or higher) and the age group of the younger player.
Format is Round Robin. Your team will play one match against every other team in your bracket.
Max of 7 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 team will play every other team twice.
As registration proceeds, tournament management reserves the option to combine or adjust brackets, and adjust bracket play format as needed based on registration.
You may register and identify your partner or request "Need partner". You and your partner must register and pay within five days of your registration, or your team will be moved to the wait list. NOTE: Your spot in the tournament is not guaranteed until you and your partner have both registered, and all fees have been paid in full.
