TOURNAMENT FORMAT

*Events with 9+ Teams: Teams will be divided into two or more seeded pools and the top two teams in each pool will advance to a playoff round to determine medal winners.

*Events with 8 Teams or Less: Round Robin for events with a small number of teams.

*Skill Level: For doubles, you must sign up at the skill level of the higher rated partner. Players with a PickleballBrackets.com rating must use that rating. Players with a USAPA UTPR rating but no PickleballBrackets.com rating must use that rating. Players with neither rating may self rate. Ratings will be verified when registration closes. The tournament reserves the right to move players and teams between skill level brackets/events.

1 partner per team may register at a lower than the stated skill level.

*Registering Together As A Team (TIP) : For a guaranteed spot in doubles, the second partner must sign up within 3 days of the first partner's registration. Incomplete teams will be moved to the waiting list after that. Once the second partner registers, they will be moved back into the event IF THERE ARE SPOTS LEFT IN THE TOURNAMENT AND THE EVENT.
