You must also connect your USA Pickleball membership to your account in this Tournament Registration Pickleball.com software:

<b>DUPR Ratings:</b>
We are using DUPR Ratings in PickleballTournaments.com for tournament registration and seeding. <b>You must have a DUPR account to register!</b>
*** If your DUPR RATING is ‘NR’, (Not Rated), perhaps because you just created your DUPR account, you CAN self-rate to register for the tournament. You still need to link your unique DUPR ID# to your PickleballTournaments.com profile.
If you have a numerical DUPR rating already but feel it is inflated, or the ‘Reliability Score’ is low, we will consider appeals for bracket adjustment, with supporting evidence and screenshots emailed to registration@pb4allpickleball.com. We will only consider submissions backed up by this evidence.
<b>Tournament match results will be entered into DUPR.</b> <font color="blue"><a href="https://www.dupr.com/">www.dupr.com</a></font color>

If you have any further questions, just let us know and we will be happy to help!
Please note, the DUPR rating is dynamic and does NOT get 'frozen' by pickleball.com at registration. While you might see someone in a bracket with a higher rating than the bracket apparently allows, they could not have registered for the bracket unless they were either at the right rating at the time of registration (PT.com only displays brackets for which a player is eligible to play), or they have lodged a successful appeal to us based on their reliability rating being low. Note: we cannot move players based on creative math if their partner's rating happens to be lower: the highest-rated player dictates the bracket.
We will review changes in DUPR ratings 2 weeks or less before the tournament and we reserve the rate to move players to the appropriate bracket based on their adjusted rating.
<b>WHAT DIVISION DO I BELONG IN?</b>
In tournaments one plays in the bracket in which one's 2-digit rating resides: for example, anyone rated 3.5 to 3.999 is eligible to play in the 3.5 bracket, or if rated from 4.5 to 4.999 is eligible for the 4.5 bracket.
These are the Division Skill Level Ranges:
- Division 2.5 (Skill levels 1.0-2.99)
- Division 3.0 (Skill levels 1.0-3.49)
- Division 3.5 (Skill levels 1.0-3.99)
- Divisions 4.0 (Skill levels 1.0-4.49)
- Division 4.5 (Skill levels 1.0-4.99)
- Division 5.0/OPEN (Skill levels 4.5-5.0+, i.e. anyone with a rating over 4.5 can play the Open bracket, and we will also consider requests from lower rated players if still establishing their true rating, and/or if space allows, and/or we believe they will be competitive in that bracket.)
<b>BRACKET FORMAT:</b>
The Brackets will be similar to our Spring 2025 event (based on demand), but now with additional courts available to use, we are moving to pool play format to guarantee players more play overall. The larger brackets will have playoff rounds involving (quarter-finals for the largest brackets), semi-finals, and gold/silver & bronze matches.
<p>However, here are the significant changes this year:
<li>We are adding Senior Open (50+) events in Mens, Womens, and Mixed Doubles. Please note, per the above, you cannot enter WD 4.5 55+ or MD 4.5 50+ as well as one of the Senior Open gender doubles events.</li>
<li>To facilitate more participation from the area’s strongest players we are putting all the high-level Open gender doubles events on Sunday.</li>
<b>Initially, events will display in broad skill categories. The Event list may have brackets with age breakdowns where clearly anticipated, but more will definitely come later to follow demand.</b>
Please understand that we list a bracket as, for instance, Mens 50+ initially, rather than predetermine age division breakdowns ... in order that player demand can drive whether that bracket needs to be split 50-54, 55-64, 65+, or perhaps 50-59, 60-69, 70+, or 50-64, 65+ or any possible permutation based on the level of interest. We will do our best to accommodate as many players that want to play as we can.
<i>Wait lists:</I><b> We have provisional waitlist caps on many brackets as a way to retain space for all ages and skills until we see exactly what the demand is during registration. ***If you see a waitlist for an event you want to sign up for, please do go ahead and SIGN UP!*** <b/> Your date and time of registration will be logged and given priority when we get into the fine details of seeing how many teams we can accommodate for each bracket within our overall daily capacity.
<b>Bracket Sizes</b>
• 1-2 registered teams - Combined with another bracket(s)
• 3 registered teams - Double Round-Robin (no play off)
• 4+ registered teams - Round Robin Pool Play leading to medal rounds: 1 to 15 for pool play and initial play off matches, with 2/3 to 11 for the Gold/Silver and Bronze matches
Please note: For Brackets with 4 teams or more, there will be a play-off where the top two teams/players will have a Gold Medal match, while the third and fourth-placed teams/players will play for Bronze. Please stay around for the play-off matches: Pool play is not the end of the bracket!
<b>Daily Schedule</b>
Indicated here so players know which days brackets will take place. This is NOT a final list of age divisions: brackets will be split up later based on demand.

<b>A player may only play in ONE event per day.</b>
<b>For brackets with a defined age range, at least one player in the partnership must meet the age range.</b> (i.e. You can play down in age if you have a younger partner that fits in the age bracket.)
<b>Start Times:</b>
Please note: Bracket start time scheduling takes place in the week or so prior to the tournament, when we as organizers have a clearer sense of team numbers in each bracket and therefore which brackets have to start when. As soon as the schedule is ready, we will email all participants. For planning purposes, players should assume their bracket could start as early as 8am Friday thru Sunday, or have an afternoon start! (Don't schedule yourself to do anything else on a tournament day!)
Our "Open" events are intended for our highest-level players with a rating of 5.0 and above and will be set as the minimum rating for registration into these events. 4.5-level players may be accommodated if space allows.
We reserve the right to move teams down from any bracket if their DUPR rating(s) are more than 0.5 lower than registered.
Brackets will be broken up or combined based on registration numbers.
Tournament directors reserve the right to modify formats as needed based on registrations.
Please note that a waitlisted team is not considered ready to be moved into the live event when an opening occurs unless the team has both partners registered. The tournament software generates an email to the player(s) when a team is moved from the waitlist to the live event. Once a team has been moved from the waitlist into the live event, the team will be given 48 hours to complete payment of the associated registration / event fees to hold their spot. If payment is not received the team may be moved back to the waitlist and the next team in line will be moved into the live event. The Tournament Director also reserves the right to determine the best fit for each bracket when moving waitlisted teams into newly open spots.
<b>PARKING:</b>
Free parking is available - please note, carpooling is encouraged.
