Tournament info:
  • This will be a USAPA Sanctioned Tournament
  • Each age group will have a National Senior Games Qualifying Event (Open event) and "normal" age group event (Non-Open event)
    • The Open event is intended for the higher level players but any skill level player may enter.
    • The Non-Open event is intended for the lower level players so they would enjoy playing with other players in about the same level. 5.0 and 4.5 skill level players will not be allowed to join this event.
Registration Rules:
  • No on-site registration is authorized.
  • Participants may enter only one event per day.
  • Pickleball participants may not enter other sports scheduled at the same time.
Format/Rules:
  • There will be no refunds for rain days, but we are trying to set up an indoor facility just in case.
  • Players cannot play down into a lower rated event. The Tournament Director has the right to determine ratings for non-rated players. Check with USAPA.org for your rating. If you do not have one then you may request one by emailing [email protected]
  • Match scoring will be determined by the number of entries in each event. Events may be double elimination matches with games played, Best 2 out of 3 games played to 11 points for winner’s bracket and one game played to 15 points for the loser bracket (subject to change).
  • Events with too few teams may be combined with another age group or do round robin.
  • The Pickleball Inc Dura 40 ball will be used for this tournament, but subject to change.
