Additional Information

Rules & Format:
This is a non-sanctioned tournament, but we will be following USAP 2024/2025 rules.

NOTICE: Age & Skill groups may be combined or split at the discretion of the Tournament Director to create brackets as needed based on the number of registered teams/players. The Tournament Director also reserves the right to adjust the bracket and match formats as necessary. The ultimate goal is to provide the players with the best playing experience possible.

DUPR and Pickleball Brackets.com:

PickleballBrackets.com now requires players to link their DUPR account to PickleballBrackets.com. (DUPR stands for Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating and is becoming one of the standard rating systems in pickleball.) If you do not have a DUPR account, you will be able to create one for free. If you have previously played in any leagues or tournaments, you may already have a DUPR account and just need to claim it. The ratings used for this tournament will be DUPR and all match scores and results will be automatically entered into DUPR. If you do not have a DUPR rating, your self rating will be used to determine which bracket you may play in. If you have a self rating in the local Playtime Scheduler system, please do not play in a lower bracket than you self rate. The Tournament Director has final authority over a player's bracket assignment.

Weather

As this will be an indoor tournament, we do not anticipate a cancellation. However, players will be notified in the case of an extreme weather event necessitating a cancellation of one or both days.
