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 for Pickleball Brackets ratings when filling these slots, self ratings must be verifiable by the tournament director in the absence of a Pickleball Brackets rating. If you are looking to play in a category above your rating, you will need to email twobouncesolutions@gmail.com to be moved, soley at the very reasonable tournament director's discretion. We recommend registering at your rating to at least hold your spot.

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.

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).
