Pickleball518 is hosting an evening Women's Doubles 3.5 tournament at Sportime.

The tournament will be a round-robin with a 5-game minimum. Medals will be awarded. There will be a maximum of 12 teams.

Teams are considered registered when BOTH team members complete the following:

1) Register and pay for the tournament through Pickleball Brackets

2) Join Pickleball518's DUPR club at https://mydupr.com/dashboard/club/8353571559/info

If there is a ghost next to a team member's name on Pickleball Brackets, your team is not registered.

If a teammate does not register on Pickleball Brackets within three days of the first player, then the first player will be placed on a waiting list automatically. Once the second team member registers and pays, the team will be moved into the tournament if there is still slots available.

The results of all matches will be entered into Pickleball Brackets and DUPR.

DUPR is a player rating system. You must have a DUPR profile and join the Pickleball518 DUPR club to participate in the tournament. How do you join the Pickleball518 DUPR Club? First, create a free DUPR profile on mydupr.com. Then search for Pickleball518 under DUPR clubs and request to join (also free). https://mydupr.com/dashboard/club/8353571559/info

The tournament is for 3.5 players (strong intermediate players.) Players who are rated by Pickleball Brackets as 3.5 to 3.99 can register for the tournament. If you do not have a rating, you can self-rate yourself when you create a Pickleball Brackets profile.

Generally speaking, a 3.5 player has good shot control, is developing consistency, can serve deep, can sustain dink rallies, is developing a third-shot drop, can handle balls hit with pace and uses pickleball strategy like getting to the kitchen line quickly.
