ATTENTION: Effective 7/29/2024 DUPR ratings are active on PickleballBrackets tournaments. DUPR will be the primary rating for this tournament. When you register, the system will prompt you to create a DUPR account or link your PIckleballBrackets profile to a DUPR account. There is no charge for creating/using a DUPR profile. If you have played in a tournament in the past year you are probably already in DUPR but may need to "claim" your information there and link it to your PickleballBrackets profile. To connect your profile, click the profile icon in the upper right corner of this screen, scroll down to Association Numbers, click "Connect My DUPR" and follow the links and prompts. If you have trouble making the connection, contact PickleballBrackets support. We can't do anything for you from our end. All doubles, all Round Robin brackets with SE playoff to determine final winners in all brackets. Indoor tournament for players of 3.0 and higher skill levels. Senior events in all skill levels.

OPEN events qualification: Players with a 4.5 from a recognized rating authority will have priority for OPEN events. At least one player must have 4.5 rating. Teams with a cumulative rating of less than 4.5 may be moved to a waitlist to accommodate higher rated teams. IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION: RATINGS: Players must register at or above the higher of their DUPR, UTPR, WPR, PBR, or self rating. About your rating: Over the years we have noticed many instances where players/teams that are significantly stronger than their self-rating or actual skill rating are dominating their skill groups in tournament play, most notably at 3.0 and 3.5 levels. Many times these teams medal in one of the lower skill events and then play up at the next skill level where they are also very competitive. Needless to say, this has a negative effect on the interest of players who are new to tournaments and expecting to compete fairly against players of similar skills. Players are expected to assess their individual skills objectively and register in events that reflect the skill of the stronger player regardless of their actual rating. Tournament Director reserves the right to disqualify any team from playing in an event where that team could reasonably be expected to have a significant skill advantage over other teams in the bracket. PARTNERS: You have 3 days from registration for your partner to register and get added to the event with you. After 3 days, you may be wait listed and may not get back into the event unless/until there is an opening. It is your responsibility to notify your partner. Wait List Priorities (in order): 1) Space available in skill/age group 2) Tournament Sponsors 3) Players with partners 4) Registration/s complete and paid 5) Earliest paid registration PLAY FORMAT: Round Robin. Each team will play a single round robin, 1-15, win-by-2. An event with 8 or 9 teams may be split into pools at the discretion of the TD. Brackets with 10 or more teams will be split into pool brackets. 15 or more teams will be split into 3 pools. All brackets will have a final playoff round to determine bracket winners. All players will play a minimum of 5 matches. PLAYOFF ROUNDS: Non pool brackets will have a one-round SE 2/3-11 win-by-two playoff: -First and Second place teams play for Gold and Silver. -Third and Fourth place teams play for Bronze. Pool brackets will play a single or double elimination playoff. Events with 5 or fewer teams will play a single or double round robin to seed a SE or DE playoff. Events with 3 or fewer teams will be combined with other events or cancelled. Pool brackets will have a multi-round SE playoff, with the number of rounds determined by the number of pools in the event. Pre-Medal rounds, 1-15 win-by-two. With two pools: Pool 1 First place vs Pool 2 Second place; Pool 2 First place vs Pool 1 Second place. Top team seeding in playoff rounds will be determined by round robin rules in USA Pickleball Rulebook 12.C.4. et seq. Round Robin Bracket Winners (to determine playoff teams): Round Robin winners will be determined by USA Pickleball Rulebook 12.C.4 et seq: The winner is determined based on number of matches won.
