Additional Information

At this point of time in Western Australia our members ratings are not yet at a mature point therefore we have named the skill in events as "Novice", "Intermediate" and "Advanced".

A general guide to this would be;
Novice = 1st time players <2.5
Intermediate = 2.5 - 3.5
Advanced = >3.5

The Tournament Officials will know the majority of players and will reserve the right, with consultation, to reallocate players into skill levels that reflects their skill level.

PLEASE NOTE:
- Skill Levels: For doubles, you must sign up at the skill level of the higher rated partner.
- Players with a Pickleballbrackets.com rating must use that rating

Refund Policy

Refunds are available up until the close of registration but will incur a $5 service fee.

No refunds will be offered once registration is closed.
