Merry Christmas to all!
The Fayetteville Athletic Club will be hosting their very first USSP and The Pickleball DRS Christmas Classic. The best news is that all events will begin at 8am every day.
We are partnering with the area Toys for Tots to provide a better Christmas for the area youth. Bring a toy worth $20 or more, or make a $20 donation, and receive an entry to win one of 5 of our ACE Pickleball Paddles valued at around $1000 or more after taxes and 5 Premium Selkirk Paddles valued at over $1,000 as well. Also, a portion of the tournament funds will be donated to help out with efforts to improve the holiday for area children.
This is a Hybrid Tournament meaning the athletes 49 and Under will basically have their own tournament and the 50 and over will have their own tournament on the same weekend with the same events. If a player in the 50 and Over wants to partner up with a player 49 and Under, we are allowing that. The older player must move down to the younger age bracket, and they will not receive points for this event. This will be #4 of a 4 tournament series events in 2025.
Registration is $55, plus $10 for each event. USSP/SSIPA members will receive a $10 discount.
This tournament is US Senior Pickleball approved.
To join USSP, go to USSeniorPickleball.com, only $20 per year. Multi-year payment discounts available.
The tournament will limit registration to 300 players, or when the tournament director deems the day’s events are full.
Brackets/Events will be round robin or pool play. Players are guaranteed 4 games per event.
The tournament director reserves the right to modify event formats as needed depending on registrations.
Events may be merged or split based on registration numbers.
Medals will be awarded based on standings in the original event (3 or more entries), or if the event was merged by a smaller event (2 or more entires) but not both.
