Welcome to the first Annual UNH Skiing Pickelball Tournament
This tournament is a fundraiser for the UNH Ski Team to help offset operating costs for our athletes during the race season.
Our event will take place at the University of New Hampshire Fieldhouse courts located at 145 Main St. Durham, NH 03824.
The date of the events is:
Saturday, May 4th. With a rain date of Sunday, May 5th.
Format:
All games will be round-robin. The bracket size will determine whether games will be 1-15, winning by 2, or 1-11, winning by 2. In a round-robin format, each team plays every other team in their bracket at least once. For example, in a bracket with eight teams, each team will play 7 games.
All brackets are limited to a minimum of three teams and a maximum of eight teams which will play as follows:
Brackets with 3 or 4 teams will play a double round robin to 15 points.
Brackets with 5 teams will play a single round-robin to 15 points.
Brackets with 6, 7, or 8 teams will play a single round-robin to 11 points.
All brackets are formed first by skill level, such as 2.5, 3.0, etc. and then by age in five-year increments, such as 50-54, 55-59 etc,
The Tournament Director reserves the right to merge brackets when there is an insufficient number of players within a bracket to make for a meaningful play. The Tournament Director also reserves the right to change the format should circumstances arise.
For example, assume that the skill level of 2.5 has only 2 teams for age group 50-54, two teams for age group 55-59 and two teams for age group 60-64. If the Tournament Director chooses to combine these three age groups into one bracket.
