The site offers 12 dedicated professionally surface pickleball courts with permanent nets. The Jean Shepherd Complex is conveniently located right of 80/94 and situated right next door to hotel and restaurant accommodations. This is one of the finest Pickleball facilities in the Chicagoland area featuring a full bar/lounge and Flick's kitchen with delectable menu items right inside the facility.

All players will play a round robin style format with games being 1 to 15, win by 2. The number of games in this round robin will depend on the number of teams in your event (larger groups will be split into pools). Once the round robin is completed, ALL PLAYERS will advance to a single elimination playoff (seeded based on round robin results). Playoff games will be 1 to 15, win by 2 until the Medal Matches which will be played 2/3 to 11, win by 2. Every team is guaranteed at least 4 matches.

Each event will have $150 provided by sponsors. Each player that signs up for an event will have their event fee ($30) pooled into their payout for that event. The larger the bracket, the more the payout. For example, a 10-team event would pay out a total of $750 ($600 from event registrations and the $150 from sponsors)

This tournament will be following USA Pickleball's approved paddles list and Rules. We will have a couple referees available on site if you have questions during play.

Full refunds will be provided (minus the service fees pickleballbrackets.com collects) until Midnight on May 25th. After May 25th we will process refunds minus a $25 processing fee (and the software fees).
