Additional Information
Saturday, May 18 - Women's Doubles and Men's Doubles starting around 8am.
Sunday, May 19 - Family Doubles (grandparent / parent partners with a child / grandchild) starting around 8am, any mix of male and female family pickleball partners. Additional mixed doubles bracket to follow Sunday afternoon. You may register for both mixed doubles as well as the family doubles - but please know that the mixed event will have limited registrations due to the focus on the family-friendly brackets.
WAITLIST: If the event fills up, we will try to fit in as many people as we can. Please register for the waitlist if you would like a chance to get in, if your bracket level is full.
NOTE on the Family Doubles bracket: The brackets are split-up per skill level. Please choose the best option that fits your combined skill level. For example, if your son is a 3.5, and you are a 5.0 - we recommend you register for the 4.0+ bracket. If your daughter is 2.5, and you are a 3.5 - we recommend you register for a 3.0 bracket. Remember, this specific bracket is designed to be for fun and an option to allow you to play with a child or grandchild of any age (whether that's a 50 year old with a parent, or a 6 year old with a parent / grandparent). Please remember to play nicely especially when those younger players are on the court! :) Games in this division are for fun and will NOT count toward your ratings.
Format: Round robin. If there is a larger pool, there may be a playoff depending on the number of teams registered. We reserve the right to combine brackets as necessary due to number of teams registered. For mixed and doubles: we will combine ages prior to combining skills. For family-friendly co-ed doubles: we will only combine skill if we do not get enough players. We hope to have 5 teams in each bracket and will add-in more if time allows.
In addition, we may split brackets as well (example: if we get a lot of 3.5 teams registered in age 10-49, we will see if another age split would be needed, such as 10-34, 34-49).
Refund Policy
Full refunds will be given (minus pickleball bracket event fees) up until the registration deadline of May 8, 2024 at 12:00PM. After that, no refunds will be given for any reason, including weather.
