REGISTERING FOR A SKILL LEVEL
The Youth Summer Slam is a Pickleball Canada non-sanctioned event. All registrants must be a Pickleball Canada member and a Pickleball BC member in good standing to play in this tournament. Please ensure your Pickleball Canada membership number and your skill level are included in your Pickleball Brackets profile before registering for this tournament. If you are not a Pickleball Canada member, you can become a member at https://pickleballcanada.org/participate/individual-membership/join-renew/
Registration is online only at https://pickleballbrackets.com/. Registration is not complete until BOTH partners have registered, agreed to the online waiver, and fees have been paid in full. Online payment via PayPal using a debit or credit card. When the maximum per event is reached based on fully registered/paid teams, others will be added to the waitlist.
All players must complete their registration by July 3, 2023, at 9:00 p.m. Players enter as individuals.
Please note players will not be allowed to play “down in age”. For example, a 17-year-old cannot register to play in an age 13 + under event.
As this tournament is the first Youth tournament in Canada, there are a few things that need to be noted:
All participants will be minors therefore the registration and waiver must be completed and signed by the minor’s parent or guardian.
It is very likely this is the first time your minor has entered a tournament and therefore he/she does not yet have a CTPR (Canadian Tournament Pickleball Rating), or a PBR (Pickleball Brackets Rating). As is the case with adults entering tournaments for the first time, we caution you to take serious consideration of the skill level that you self-rate your minor.
Need help to self-rate? Please refer to the “Flyer” on the tournament listing landing page.
The tournament director reserves the right to review, and possibly alter the rating of players who self-rate below or above their actual rating.
We want this tournament to be a positive experience for the players so if you are unsure of the level that your minor is at then there are a few suggestions for determining their skill level, such as:
Bring forward any previous tournament results (matches played, opponents’ names, game scores etc.) that can be used to determine skill level.
Ask an advanced player of any local pickleball club to either play with them or watch them play and perhaps they can offer an opinion (we would need that person’s name, PCO # etc. to verify their credentials).
Start your minor at the lowest skill level (2.0)
Reach out to us for further help in this regard (youthsummerslam@surreypickleball.com). We will do our best to place your minor into the proper skill level.
The Tournament Committee has the right to make changes to the tournament, combine divisions, or change and alter the format depending on the number of registrations received.
