*************
You may register and identify your partner or request ""Need partner"". Selecting that you ""need a partner"" allows other players to see that you are available to play in the tournament. We do our best to introduce players that need partners, but this selection does not mean that the tournament will find a partner for you. It is still your responsibility to find a partner.
There are no referees. Matches are self-monitored. If a referee is requested, we will do our best to provide one.
RATINGS
- DUPR ratings will be used.
- Tournament Director reserves the right to move a player to a higher/lower level at their discretion
Mizuno is the official shoe of the Southern Pickleball Association!
