The Legacy Open (Powered by HISPORTS)
The 2nd event of the APA Ontario Circuit is finally here! The Legacy Open will be held at the Durham Sportplex located in Oshawa, also known as the "Pickleball Capital of Ontario". We are very excited to welcome you to HISPORTS, with 6 dedicated indoor pickleball courts. This tournament is where LEGENDS are made!
Championship "Rings" will be making a return to the circuit! After many demands, our athletes want a chance at redemption for a ring or to keep adding to their collection.
Thursday April 18th 2024 will be SINGLES! Format TBD.
This will be a skill/age tournament with 19+ & 50+ age categories played at 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, OPEN/PRO skill levels. You can play up to 3 events. Tournament directors reserve the rights to combine brackets & change format based on registration numbers. The registration fee will be $70, $15 Per Event/$70 Per OPEN/PRO Event. Your spot is not guaranteed in your event until both partners are registered and paid in full. You and your partner both have 5 days to register before being put onto the wait-list. Maximum 8 teams per division except the OPEN/PRO with 12 teams. Spots will fill up quickly, so sign up TODAY!
Tournament director reserves the right to move teams playing up too far if he/she feels they won't be competitive. With this being a sanctioned event, we will be using the "Canadian Tournament Player Rating" (CTPR). Should both players choose to, they may play up ONLY a 0.5 rating level from their current CTPR. Please note that the PRO events are for OPEN level athletes. For ambitious players with a lower rating, please email the APA Tournament Director for approval to participate.
