REGISTRATION:
Registrations Open: Wednesday 5 August 2026
Registrations Close: Sunday 4 October 2026 or earlier if capacity is reached.
The registration fee is $60.00 which includes entry into one event. Each additional event is $10.00 per event.
Participants must have a Pickleball Tournaments account that is linked to a current PA membership and DUPR account.
Players may enter a doubles event without a partner but It is the responsibility of the participant to source a partner and have them enter to secure a position.
PLAYER ELIGIBITY
Players may enter age events based on their age as of Dec 31, 2026. Singles and Doubles skill-based events will be based on a player's appropriate singles / doubles DUPR rating at the close of registration.
Skinny Singles skill based events will be based on a player doubles DUPR rating at the close of registration.
WAITLIST: Singles: players will automatically be allocated a position in the main draw, UNLESS an event is at capacity.
Doubles: players will automatically be allocated a position in the main draw, UNLESS the event is at capacity. Teams who have both players enter the event, will be prioritised over a player who fails to secure a partner. Teams that do not have both partners registered will be moved to the waitlists after 7 days. Teams will only be moved back after both teams are entered if the main draw is not full.
At the close of registration, the Tournament Director will determine if waitlisted players can/cannot be added to the event based on venue capacity at any given time.
TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR DISCRETION
The tournament director reserves the right to:
- Review and possibly alter the rating of players who self-rate below or above their actual rating.
- Move players and teams between skill level brackets if on verification the wrong event has been entered.
- Merge Events with 4 or less entries with another event of closest possible standard.
- Change start times to facilitate smooth running of the tournament.
- Modify events and/or schedules as required due to influences beyond our control (ie. extreme weather).
- Accept/reject waitlisted player entries after registration close based on venue capacity at any given time.
