Registration is completed by DUPR skill level. WinBy2 Pickleball promises to keep age groups as tight as possible, with a minimum of 4 teams per age division. Groups with less than 4 teams/players may be combined to create viable brackets at the discretion of the Tournament Director. Start times for brackets to be posted on May 12th, subject to change until the day before play. Note - due to troubles with DUPR results and ratings, the 5.0 brackets will ONLY be open to 5.0 players. Ratings will be updated when registration closes, and teams that are in a lower bracket than their skill on May 10th will be moved up to the proper brackets. All USAP Rules will be followed. Before arriving, please confirm you are using a USA Pickleball–approved paddle: https://equipment.usapickleball.org/paddle-list/
