Registration is by skill level.
A team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player. The PickleballBrackets.com tournament rating will be used. For new players with no rating, the player self rating will be used.
Players who have official USAPA UTPR ratings but NO PickleballBrackets.com tournament rating, MUST self rate using their UTPR rating.
THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MOVE PLAYERS AND TEAMS TO APPROPRIATE SKILL LEVELS
At the close of registration, events with high registration numbers will be split into age groups. Age group ranges will be determined by the age composition of the registered teams.
Format
All events will be Round Robin. Playing brackets with more than nine teams will be split into pools. The top two teams in each pool will advance to a single elimination playoff.
Special Formats
Doubles Scramble Events - Register individually. Players will be placed in groups of four, five or six to compete in a round robin format with every other player as a partner. Medals are awarded individually based on points scored.
Skinny Singles - Played on half of the court. Regular singles rules apply.
Waiting Lists - Each event has a limited number of playing slots available. When those slots are full, players may sign up on the waiting list at no charge.
Partner Registration - Doubles and mixed doubles events have a time limit of seven days for partners to register in order to guarantee a spot in the event. If the partner does not register within that time limit, the team will be moved to the waiting list. Once the partner registers, the team will be moved back in to the event IF THERE ARE STILL SLOTS REMAINING.
