Mixed Doubles will be held in the morning starting at 8:00 AM. Men's and Women's Doubles will begin at approximately 1:00 PM.
The tournament format is round robin for all events with a limited number of teams. Events with a large number of teams may be split into two round robin pools followed by a playoff for the top teams in each pool. Senior players are welcome to play with a younger partner on Saturday in either Mixed Doubles or Doubles in addition to the Senior events on Sunday.
Teams MUST play in the age group of the younger partner. For doubles and mixed doubles, you MUST sign up at the skill level of the higher rated partner. Players may play up in skill level ONLY with a higher rated partner. Singles players MUST play in their own skill level/age group.
Players with a PickleballBrackets.com tournament rating MUST use that rating. Players with a USAPA UTPR rating but no PickleballBrackets.com rating MUST use that rating. Players with both ratings should use the higher of the two. Players with neither rating may self rate.
The PickleballBrackets.com Senior rating will apply to players age 50 and over for Sunday's events. The Senior rating will apply to players age 50 and over who register for Saturday's events.
Anyone needing to use a UTPR rating for bracket placement should use the Contact Tourney link above to email the tournament director.
The tournament director reserves the right to move players and teams to appropriate skill levels.

For a guaranteed spot in the tournament, the second partner will have THREE days to register after the first partner signs up. If the second partner does not register within that time limit, the team will be moved to the waiting list. Once the second partner registers, the team will be moved back into the event IF THERE ARE STILL OPENINGS AVAILABLE.

If an event is full, BOTH PARTNERS must sign up on for the waiting list for a team to be eligible to fill any openings that occur. You cannot just name a partner. There is no charge for signing up on the waiting list for full events. You will be billed only if your team gets in.
