REGISTERING FOR AN EVENT
The skill level of players is determined by the data in the players' Pickleball Brackets profile, if that is lacking then their Pickleball Brackets self-rating. When registering for a skill level, eg. 4.0 at least one of the players must be rated at the skill level of the event. Note: a 3.5 and a 4.0 player are eligible to play in 4.0. Two 3.5 players cannot play in 4.0.

Registration is online only at https://pickleballbrackets.com/. Registration is not complete until BOTH partners have registered, agreed to the online waiver, and PAID in full. Online payment via PayPal or Stripe. Please note: PayPal or Stripe accepts credit card payments. When the maximum per event is reached based on fully registered/paid teams, others will be added to the waitlist.
Note: If the partner has not completed their registration within TWO days of the first partner registering, the team will be moved to the waitlist if there are fully-paid teams on the waitlist. When the identified partner registers after the three-day grace period, the team will move from the waitlist back to the active list ONLY if there is a slot available. In the case of waitlists, in doubles events – teams will take priority over individuals.
