Southwest Missouri Senior Games (50+)! This tournament is US Senior Pickleball (USSP) approved and each player will receive a FREE 2023 USSP membership (new members only - current and past members are not eligible). See below for more information on USSP!
Cost is $45 per person to register for 1 event; $50 for 2 events; $55 for 3 events. Additional website service fees are $5 for 1 event or $10 for 2 or 3 events. Please note: website service fees are never refundable. Events will be: Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Men's Singles, & Women's Singles. PLEASE NOTE: for ages 70+, we will also be offering a Scramble bracket that you could play instead of the traditional bracket. For Scrambles, you are paired with a random partner for every game of the Round Robin and then seeded into bracket play. See the Event Listings for Scramble options. You cannot play BOTH scramble and traditional bracket since they will be on the same day.
Brackets will be separated by age and then skill. You may play DOWN in age or UP in skill at your discretion. Be sure to register for your desired skill/age bracket. If you do not know what skill level to register for, please seek the advice of experienced players and/or the Tournament Director.
Planned Age Divisions: Each skill level will be separated into 5 year age splits. Final brackets will be determined based on the # of registrants in each age split, but at a minimum will be 50+ and 65+. Brackets generally would need to have a minimum of 5 teams or else they will be combined with similar skill levels. Some brackets may be combined due to # of registrations at the discretion of the TD, but your results within your 5 year age split will still earn you points for USSP (see below).
Planned Skill Divisions: 2.5-3.0, 3.0-3.5, 3.5-4.0, 4.0-4.5, 4.5+
