As registration progresses the numbers will be assessed and events adjusted accordingly, to accommodate members.

- When registrations are closed, any event with insufficient numbers for a competition will need to be collapsed and combined with another event. Competitors in the collapsed event will be notified so they can decide if they still want to play.

- The tournament director reserves the right to cancel or modify the events and/or schedule as needed pending influences beyond our control.

At this point of time in Western Australia our members ratings are not yet at a mature point therefore we have named the skill in events as "Intermediate" and "Advanced".

A general guide to this would be;

Intermediate < 3.5

Advanced >= 3.5

The Tournament Officials will know the majority of players and will reserve the right, with consultation, to reallocate players into skill levels that reflects their skill level.

PLEASE NOTE:

- Skill Levels: For doubles, you must sign up at the skill level of the higher rated partner.

- Players with a Pickleballbrackets.com rating, that rating will be used.

Refunds are available up until the close of registration but will incur a $5 service fee.

No refunds will be offered once registration is closed.
