Ratings
The priority for determining a player's skill level is their Canadian Tournament Player Rating (CTPR). If that is lacking then their Pickleball Bracket profile tournament rating, and if that is lacking their Pickleball Bracket self-rating for that Event. Your tournament age is the age you will become in 2024. An older player may play in a younger age group. A younger player may not play in an older age group. The Tournament Director reserves the right to place players in their appropriate skill level category and to combine brackets based on registrations.
Medals will be awarded to gold, silver and bronze winners in each Combined event.
