The QPA is proud to announce the first of its kind in the Bay of Quinte area, a TEAM TOURNAMENT that follows the format of Major League Pickleball:

4 people to a team. 2 women, 2 men. Skill level and age set the Division for your Team.

Get CREATIVE!! We want AWESOME Team Names!

We strongly encourage Team Colours / matching outfits

November 1 & 2 at the Belleville Pickleplex facility, 366 N Front Street

Each registration gives you entry into 1 event.

All MIXED games will be within the framework of a Team Tournament format only.

The Team Tournament structure is as follows:

There are 4 pickleball games per Team vs Team Match, each a standard game up to 11 win by 2

First is Women's doubles, followed by Men's doubles, followed by 2 mixed doubles games, in which each team determines one man and one woman play together for the first mixed game, and the other man and woman play together for the second mixed game.

A team gets 3 points for a win in regulation (4-0 or 3-1)

If the score is tied 2-2 after all 4 games have been played, a tiebreaker (DREAMBREAKER) rally style up to 21 in which all 4 groups play 5 rally points each until the first team reaches 21, winning the game only on a serve. Winning team gets 2 points, losing team gets 1.

Following the Round Robin, the top two teams in each pool, or top 4 if one large pool, compete for the medals. Teams will advance based upon Total Points earned. While winning 3-1 or 4-0 means 3 points for the team, should two teams tie for a playoff position, the team with more individual game wins will advance.

Each Team vs Team Match lasts up to an hour, and each player plays 2 of the 4 games, one gender double game, and one mixed game.

To register for the Team Tournament, select the Division you wish to compete in, reflective of your current DOUBLES DUPR rating- You may register along with one of your two mixed partners, Your same gender partner will register then with your other mixed partner, and then decide on a Team Captain. The Captain will email us directly at pickleballquinte.com to tell us who the 4 players on your team will be, the Team name, and what colour (if chosen) they wish to represent. The two MIXED couples will serve to represent the two men and the two women on the team for the same gender matches. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY TEAMS AND HAVE A MIXED PARTNER BUT DON'T KNOW OF ANOTHER COUPLE TO PLAY WITH, EMAIL US AND WE WILL MATCH YOU UP WITH ANOTHER COUPLE IN THE SAME BOAT. THE MORE TEAMS THE MORE FUN!

The QPA TD has the right to join divisions or age groups if deemed fair, respective of numbers of registrants and to enhance the overall experience for all of our athletes.

Our vision and hope is that this format will bring together an exciting new sense of fun and camaraderie, cheering on not only ourselves when we play our games, but our teammates when they play theirs! The MLP has shown tremendous interest ever since they started a Teams Format. Now it's our time to have some serious FUN.

Each registration allows you to participate in 1 event.

An additional $20 will be charged per event if you wish to play in additional events.

Each team of 4 is allowed one player below the age group cutoff, up to 10 years of age below the cutoff. That player must be appropriately skilled for the older age group, and the average of the four players on the team must be above the Division Age Group. ex: 58+61+56+45 = 55 average age for a 50+ team. Each request is to be reviewed by the tournament director for prior approval.
