The Inaugural Tillamook Cowbell Classic

We are excited to introduce the inaugural Tillamook Cowbell Classic Pickleball Tournament. All proceeds above expenses will go towards new lighting for the indoor courts at the Tillamook County Fairgrounds.

The Tillamook High School Girls Tennis Team and the Tillamook Pickleball Club use this facility during the winter months. The current lights are outdated, inefficient, and unsafe. Updating the lighting for maximum visibility is a key safety improvement for tennis and pickleball, and will also allow the Fairgrounds to utilize the facility during the County Fair and the off-season in ways they have not been able to due to poor lighting.

All participants receive a commemorative T-shirt and gift bag. A raffle and barbeque will be held at Al Griffin Park in Bay City following the completion of events on Saturday, June 21st.

Round Robin format (skill/age) with playoffs for Gold/Silver/Bronze for 3.0 and under, 3.5, and 4.0 and above. Age brackets will be determined following the close of registration, but will strive to be close to 50 and under, 51-69, & 70 and older events. The Tournament Director may combine brackets as needed to ensure quality of play.

Ratings:

Players will self-rate; please update your self-rating in your profile before you register. You may only play up .5 from your self-rating.

If anyone feels a player is playing out of their skill, please contact the on-site tournament director. We will then evaluate tournament history and various ratings (including DUPR) to determine if a player/team needs to play at a different skill level.
