The True North Pickleball Tour is very excited to be hosting another Team Challenge at the world class Kingston Pickleball Club.
This team event will have 8 teams, each with 2 x 4.5+, 2 x 4.0, 2 x 3.5 and 2 x 3.0 players. The 4.5+ players will act as team captains and are already in place. Registration will have 16 spots available in each 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0. Teams will be chosen by draft.
We will be looking at DUPR ratings when filling these slots, self-ratings must be verifiable by the tournament director in the absence of an official rating. If you would like to enter above your current rating please email the tournament director at truenorthpickleball@gmail.com.
Saturday will be preliminary play. The 8 teams will be split into pools of 4. There will be 4 rounds of doubles play, 3 within your pool and one crossover. There will also be 3 rounds of "team" games where your entire team will face another team from your pool. The match will start off with the 4.5's playing each other for 4 rallies, then the 4.0's for 4 rallies, then the 3.5's for 4 rallies and so on till one team reaches 21 points (regular scoring).
All doubles matches will be worth 1 point. Team matches are worth 3 points and will serve as a tiebreaker.
Sunday will be playoffs with teams seeded based on Saturday results. The top 2 teams from Pools A and B will playoff for the A championship while the bottom 2 teams from each pool will playoff for the B championship. Playoff matches will be head to head with 3 rounds of doubles and 1 round of full team match. The doubles matches will determine the starting score of the team match.
