The tournament director reserves the right to modify the events and/or schedule as needed pending influences beyond our control (ie. Fire drill, Covid restrictions).

Any event with fewer than 4 entries will be combined with another event of closest possible standard. This will be at the Tournament Directors discretion and their decision will be final.

A registration is considered complete when the Team is complete. BOTH players must register for the entry to be complete. If you do not have a partner, you can look under 'Players Needing Partners' to find a partner. (Click on the large button next to the logo on the Home page of the tournament website).

All participants must be members of Pickleball Australia. Anyone who is a member of their state association (such as PAT) or a club (such as Kingborough), is automatically a member of PAA. If you are not a member by the time you check-in you will be charged the membership fee at that time. You will need to know your PAA membership number.

Participants are required to enter events at their current skill rating. If you are not rated, consult the self rating guide on the PANSW website.

At a minimum, referees will be scheduled on the gold medal match. To discover some the characteristics of playing with a referee go to the PANSW website and open the 'Playing with a referee' document.

If you are unavoidably detained and it appears that you will not arrive in time for your game/match, please contact the Tournament Director. We can update you on the schedule and consider options but your game may result in a forfeit.

If you have a partner or friend attending the tournament with you, or if you are not playing in all 3 events, you, or they, may have some time available to help out as a Volunteer. Any help would be much appreciated as this event relies on volunteers to run smoothly. Please click on the Volunteer button when completing your Registration.
