FORMAT

This is a FUNdraiser, with morning games geared towards less experienced players (new to the sport and 2.0-2.75) and the afternoon with more advanced players in mind (3.0-3.6 and 3.75 & above). Every team will play 6 games, weather permitting. Unsure where you fall in the skill rankings? Check out USA Pickleball Player Skills Ranking HERE.

The tournament will be in a partner ladder format. This means you and your partner will play together throughout. Pairs can be of any gender or age mix. Games will last 13 minutes. At the end of time, the team ahead in score will move up one court. The team behind in score will move down one court. In case of a tie score when time is called, the teams will play one more rally. The team that wins that rally will be declared the winning team regardless of serve.

The Tournament Director reserves the right to change the format should circumstances, such as adverse weather conditions, necessitate. Fun prizes will be awarded upon the final results of the bracket.
