Major League Pickleball's Atlanta Bouncers are excited to partner with DiNK'D Pickleball to bring the first Southern Pickleball event to the Augusta area. DiNK'D Pickleball is an amazing 9 court state of the art facility (https://dinkdpickleball.com/). The tournament will be sanctioned by Southern Pickleball so players will receive ranking points and medalist will become eligible for the 2025 Southern Pickleball Championships.
Registration Cost is $60 and includes one event. Additional events are $10.
The schedule is as follows:
Saturday March 15 Men's and Women's Doubles
Sunday March 16 Mixed Doubles
Competition each day may begin as early as 8:00 AM. Specific start times for each event will be posted and emailed to players approximately one week prior to the event.
Last day to register and be guaranteed a FREE tournament Shirt is March 2nd, 11:55pm.
Format of play will be as follows:
5, 6 & 7 team brackets: round robin followed by medal matches (1 seed v 2 seed for Gold / Silver - 3 seed v 4 seed for bronze)
4, 8 & 9 team brackets: round robin followed my medal round (single elimination) - if 2 pools top 4 seeds from each pool will move on to the medal round.
10+ team brackets: round robin pool play followed by medal round (top 2 seeds from each pool move on to the medal round. Winners from each semi final match will play for Gold / Silver, losers will play for Bronze)
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.
Skills levels include 2.5,3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0+
Age groups are 16+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+, and 70+
A team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player (or higher) and the age group of the younger player. Age is calculated as of 12/31/2025.
RATINGS
DUPR ratings will be used. After February 28th , the tournament staff will move 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.
*************
You may register and identify your partner or request ""Need partner"". Your partner must register within five days of your registration or the team will be moved to the wait list. When the identified partner registers after the five day grace period, the team will automatically move from the wait list back to the active list if there is a slot available and both teams have paid. If a player needs a partner, the team will automatically move from the wait list to the active list once a partner is identified, registers, and both players have paid if there is an available slot to move to. NOTE: Your spot in the tournament is not guaranteed until your partner has registered and all fees have been paid in full.
There are no referees. Matches are self-monitored. If a referee is requested, we will do our best to provide one.
