Within those age groups we will also split you up based on your Skill Level (3.0 and below, 3.5, or 4.0 and above).

REMINDER: There now is a non-refundable software service fee charged to players by Pickleballbrackets.com. This is $5 per event ($10 maximum) and must be paid even if you are signing up without a partner and do not get in.

FORMAT:
Groups of 3 or less will get combined with either age group or skill level above or below based on numbers.
Groups of 4-5 will play round robin with 1 game to 21 - NO PLAYOFFS
Groups of 6-7 will play round robin with 1 game to 15 - NO PLAYOFFS
Groups 8+ will play a standard double elimination bracket (best 2/3 games to 11, and 1 game to 15 in the Loser’s Bracket including the Bronze Medal match)

IF AGE GROUPS OR SKILL LEVELS ARE COMBINED MEDALS WILL BE AWARDED BASED ON THE BRACKETS AT THE TIME REGISTRATION CLOSES.

YOU MAY CHANGE YOUR CHOICE OF SKILL LEVEL (from the above list) ONLY UNTIL REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. THEN THE YOUR CHOICE IS FINAL. IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE A PARTNER AFTER THIS HE/SHE MUST FIT INTO YOUR BRACKET.

REGISTRATION WILL PAUSE OR CLOSE WHEN THERE ARE 50 ENTRIES (A TEAM IS 1 ENTRY, A SINGLE IS 1 ENTRY) FOR THE DAY. TEAMS WILL BE MOVED OFF THE WAITLIST INTO BRACKETS IF WE SEE WE CAN ADD MORE. NOTE: The maximum limit for each bracket will be determined when the 50 is hit for the day. The bigger brackets at that point will get a higher limit than the others. So register early!!
