NOTES:
* For the Armory Pickleball member discount, there are three things that need to happen:
1. Be an active member of Armory Pickleball (go to https://armorypickleball.net) AND,
2. Have or create a free account with Pickleball Brackets (go to https://pickleballbrackets.com) AND,
3. THEN, once your account is set up and you are logged into Pickleball Brackets, click on "Clubs", and search for Armory Pickleball. If you are a current paid member of Armory Pickleball, select Armory Pickleball, click on "Become A Member" and then, "Click Here To Complete Your Request". Your membership will need to be verified (this may take up to 24 hours). Once you have been verified, you may register and your discount will be applied. This only needs to happen once. If you have done this already for a previous tournament, your information will already be in the system.
- Pickleball Brackets charges a $5 service fee for registering for each of the first TWO events. To avoid paying an unnecessary service fee, if you are wanting to CHANGE events, be sure to drop the first event BEFORE adding the second event. If you add a second event first and then drop the first event, you will be charged the second event fee of $5. No extra fee is charged for signing up for more than two events.
- A player may play at a higher level (play up), but may not play down (sand bag). Pickleball Brackets uses DUPR scores to determine which events are open to each player. Pickleball Brackets also uses an events scale based on 0.5 rating increments - so if you have a DUPR of 3.43, you would be eligible to play in any event from 3.0 and up. Some of our events are based on .25 rating increments (for example, 3.0-3.25 doubles). In this instance, if you have a DUPR of 3.43, you would **technically** be eligible for that event, based on the increments Pickleball Brackets uses. In that case, we would encourage you to play in the next-highest event.
- A minimum of 5 games are guaranteed. Number of games played and points per game will depend on registration. Our goal is to maximize the number of rallies each team gets to play, and the number of other teams each team gets to play, while staying on schedule to ensure that each event starts on time. Pool play will be round-robin (each team plays every other team in your pool). Under special circumstances and with advanced notice, we may use waterfall format (playing 4 best matches before the medals round).
- Depending on registration numbers, we may split events by age (for example: under 40, 40+), and we may combine teams to make for the best player experience. Your age will be based on your age by December 31st of this year.
