Welcome to the September Showdown at the Lake.

This tournament will be played at the beautiful new 19 court pickleball complex at Lakeshore Recreational Complex in Carrollton, GA. It is a great facility!

**LAST DAY TO ORDER TOURNAMENT SHIRT IS Sunday, August 24 AT 12PM ET**

SCHEDULE:

Saturday, Sept 6: Men's and Women's Doubles

Sunday, Sept 7: Mixed Doubles

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

Format of play will be round robin. Medal rounds may follow the round robin play, depending on the size of the bracket.

As registration proceeds, tournament management reserves the option to combine brackets as needed if brackets do not fill. If brackets are combined to create playable brackets, awards will be based on the original division and not the combined bracket. Brackets will be combined by age if possible to avoid combining skills.

Mizuno is the official shoe of the Southern Pickleball Association!

Once registration ends, the tournament staff will move up players whose DUPR ratings have changed since registering for this tournament. Players with DUPR reliability rating of 50 or lower may appeal their current rating.
