The Isle Area Pickleball Association welcomes you to our first tournament! We are very pleased you have chosen to join us.

For starters, please note that this is a non-sanctioned recreational tournament. Emphasis on friendly competition.

Rules
In Isle a tennis court is used to accommodate pickleball so multiple lines exist. Prior to play and during warm up, take the time to familiarize yourself with the lines.
1. No referees are provided so all calls are made by players. Your honesty is expected and appreciated!
2. In/out calls are made by the team on the side where the ball landed.
3. A wrist band is provided and is to be worn by your team’s first server throughout the tournament.
4. If a stray ball enters your court call “ball”. Play is to be immediately suspended and the point re-played. If you continue to play your ball (highly discouraged) the point stands.
5. The score must be announced clearly before each serve. (Not as you serve)
6. Disputes in calls or scores must be resolved prior to commencing play. (See disqualifying offenses below)
7. One – one minute time out is afforded each team per game. Injury time outs up to two minutes, but count as use of your only time out.
8. This is a double elimination tournament. Winners play 2 out of 3 to 11 win by 2, Losers play 1 game to 15 win by 1, Bronze plays 1 game to 15 win by 2. Final match plays 2 out of 3 to 11 win by 2, if losers win an extra game to 15 win by 2 will be played.
9. A signed waiver and full payment is required prior to your participation.
10. USA Pickleball rules for non-sanctioned play apply. “Let” serves are good serves when they land in the zone. As are one handed spin serves and drop serves.

Disqualifying Offenses-
NOTE – No refunds will be provided for disqualified players.
1. If disputes during play are not resolved prior to commencing play or are getting “ugly”, both teams involved will be disqualified.
2. We reserve the right to excuse players for unsportsmanlike conduct at our discretion.
3. Teams who are not present within 5 minutes of a designated start time are disqualified.

Additional Information

Party Time! - This tournament is being held in conjunction with an Isle Days celebration. Festivities include a fun run, car show, family feud, food vendors, beer garden, quilting sale, and a parade. It’s an opportunity for family fun. Come early and stay late. Also expect some congestion so budget some extra time. See Isle Days Celebration in Isle, MN | Isle Area Chamber of Commerce www.islechamberofcommerce.org or Isle Days | Facebook for details.

Venue - We will be using 6 courts at Isle High School (730 5th Ave S, Isle MN) for ALL brackets.


Izaty’s Resort offers opportunities for golf, launch fishing, lodging, and great food. Ask about the Play and Stay package discounts for room rates and afore mentioned amenities.. Proof of tournament registration is required. https://izatys.com/.
Prefer Camping? Check out camping and RV opportunities at Father Hennepin State Park | Minnesota DNR.


“The Pond” - The city of Isle is located on the shore of a 132,000 acre body of water called Mille Lacs Lake. Fishing and water sports abound. In fact last fall, a new state record Muskie was caught here. (55#14oz) Bassmasters refer to this lake as the best kept secret in the Midwest. Local resorts offer launches so you don’t need to trailer a boat. See Mille Lacs Area Tourism Council.

Weather – We will make every effort to allow play, but rain or weather issues are always a possibility. Shelter is very limited. Your vehicle would likely be your best option at Isle High School. Izaty’s players should consider the Izaty’s bar/restaurant as their best option. Our website and/or text messaging will be used to announce re-start times if a delay should occur.
