Format is round robin pool play with all teams moving into a double elimination bracket to maximize the number of games you will get to play!

Come join us in New London for a fun and competitive tournament! The tournament will be June 8th & 9th and will be held at NLS High School tennis courts. We have 16 pickleball courts with temporary nets (crank and otherwise)

Gendered Doubles will be held on Saturday the 8th. Mixed doubles will be held Sunday the 9th.

Format will consist of pool play with all teams progressing to a double elimination bracket with the consolation draw able to come around and win gold. Tournament director has the discretion to make changes to the brackets regarding weather delays, combining small divisions/brackets, and the format of the divisions based upon weather and division size.

In case of rain/inclement weather we will move the tournament inside. The locations will be the Willmar Rec Center (15 mile drive) with 8 courts and temporary nets, as well as Prairie Woods Elementary School in New London with 4 courts and temporary nets. If we do go inside, divisions will not be split location-wise, divisions will be allocated to venue based upon numbers/court needs. Tournament director has discretion to make changes necessary to complete the tournament based upon circumstances. There are no refunds for inclement weather or if participants decide to no longer continue participating with the indoor format/option.

Refunds are available for registration and event fees minus a $5.00 per event, non-refundable pickleballbrackets software charge and any payment processing fee if cancelled before the cancellation deadline of 06/03/24. Refunds will be issued as quickly as possible, but could occur after the conclusion of the tournament. This is an outdoor tournament with an indoor backup that could alter the location (up to 15 miles) and the format of play. There are no refunds after the cancellation deadline or due to weather.
