Join us for the 7th annual Pickleball Veritas in the Ancient City (The Veritas Tournament)! This popular Spring tournament is scheduled for March 28th, 29th and 30th.

Held at Treaty Park, in beautiful St. Augustine just south of Jacksonville, it also gives players the opportunity to combine playing in a topnotch tournament with enjoying an extensive list of tourist activities and an extended stay. Treaty Park has recently completed a major renovation which includes the addition of 12 new pickleball courts, giving us now a total of 20 permanent pickleball courts.

Registration is $65, and each event is $10. Early registration is $55 which ends on February 15th, so plan ahead to save! There is also a $5/event fee imposed by PickleballBrackets.com.

There will be a MoneyBall event held on Saturday afternoon after Mixed Doubles. Registration for MoneyBall is $110 during early registration and $120 afterwards. If you are playing in the MoneyBall event and want to play in another event you will only need to pay for the extra event. See section on “Prize Money Description” for additional details. At the request of players, MoneyBall scores will not be reported to DUPR.

This is an ALL AGES US Senior Pickleball Circuit event. Anyone can sign up but USSP members get a $10 Discount on registration. Find out more about USSP at usseniorpickleball.com.

The first 300 registered players get a reduced entry fee and a free premium carbon fiber training paddle with cover.

The Veritas Tournament is a charity tournament held by the Knights of Columbus, and ALL proceeds are given to various local charities. Although payments are made through Pickleballbrackets.com, payments on your credit card statement will be labeled “Knights of Columbus”.
