-------- Amateurs Only -------- Doubles Only --------
The Kitchen along with our partners at Joola are proud to present THE KITCHEN OPEN.
THE KITCHEN OPEN is our largest amateur event to date. This amateur tournament will be held in November 16th-19th in Austin, TX. There will also be a Finals Party, where ONE TEAM WILL WIN $25,000, the LARGEST PRIZE IN AMATEUR PICKLEBALL HISTORY! 💥
There are divisions based on age (open age play and 40+), skill level (3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and OPEN), as well as gender doubles and mixed. ALL TEAMS IN EACH DIVISION WILL PLAY 12 GAMES MINIMUM!
All SKILL DIVISIONS will compete for Joola paddles, and gear as well as gift credits to www.TheKitchenPickle.shop which will be awarded to all those who make the podium of their respective divisions.
THE OPEN DIVISION is open to amateur pickleball players, regardless of age or gender.
WHAT IS AN AMATEUR? Someone who, at the time of sign up, has not won an APP or PPA main draw match (back draw or consolation are ok) nor has played in a Major League Pickleball match.
UPDATE: As PPA and MLP are signing players to professional contracts (many of which have never won PPA or APP gender doubles main draw matches), those players are still eligible. If a player ends up on a Major League Pickleball roster before The Kitchen Open, that player would be ineligible.
This is going to be a party, so come prepared to play some pickleball and have a blast!
See you on the courts!
