RESULTS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO DUPR!

Our event is indoor and not subject to weather conditions.

In the event that a bracket does not have enough teams, the Tournament Director reserves the right to combine brackets by level and/or age. Age groups within the same skill level would be combined first. If necessary, Skill levels may be combined.

Skill level used to determine which level events you can play in will be based on DUPR rating. If a player does not have a DUPR rating, self-rating from Player Profile will be used. Players are responsible to self-rate at a skill level that is NOT lower than their DUPR or UTPR rating. Players may play in a skill level higher than their rating. Players may not play in a skill level that is lower than their rating.

*Start times will be released 1-2 days after registration closes and may be subject to change due to any unforeseen circumstances.*

Water and snacks will be available to players.

*NOTE - Please start a DUPR account if you do not already have one and join the BW_Pickleball "club" in your Dupr account.*

You must show a photo ID with your birthdate to check-in. Please check-in a minimum of 30 minutes prior to your event start time each day that you play. If the tournament is running early, your event can start up to 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Refunds (minus a $30-$35 fee [$25 fee plus $5 or $10 Pickleball Bracket event fee] depending on how many events you are withdrawing from) will be allowed until January 5tb, 2025. After that date, no refunds will be given for any reason.

*In situations of player swap, the new partner will need to pay the registration and event fee prior to issuing a refund to the withdrawing partner. A refund to the withdrawn partner will be issued.

* Note - PickleballBrackets.com charges a separate administration fee at checkout that is non-refundable at any time if you are placed into an event.

For 4.5+ open $$ events $40 from each entrant's event fee will go towards prize money for that event. Payouts for each event will be split as follows. Gold medalists get 60%, silver medalists get 25%, bronze medalists get 15%.

For example, if there are 20 teams in the men's doubles open, that is 40 total players. The total prize money for that event would be 40 x $40=$1,600. The team who wins gold would be paid out $960, Silver would be paid out $400, and Bronze would be paid out $240.
