This is an outdoor non sanctioned, age-based, double elimination tournament with skill divisions.
AGE/SKILL To Combine skill groups within age allowing for various skills to compete within an age group. The idea of using this format is that older players skills are often closer due to physical limitations than those of lower age groups. However, this format allows players the most flexibility since players may still play down in age to compete with younger players of the same skill level. This format gives the players more choices rather than having them made for them. In all tournaments, players may choose to play down in age and up in skill

Brackets with Fewer than 3 teams

The Round Robin results must be determined following the USA Pickleball Rulebook:
Rule12.C.3. Round Robin.
All players or teams play each other. Games may use any of the approved tournament scoring options. (See Rule 12.B.)
The winner is determined based on number of matches won. If two or more teams are tied:
12.C.3.a. First tie-breaker: head-to-head matches won.
12.C.3.b. Second tie-breaker: point differential of all games played. (e.g., Team A won Match 1 11-8, 11-4, so they would have a point differential of +10. Team A then wins the second match 11-9, 2-11, 11-6. For this round, they would have a point differential of -2. This would give them a total for the day of +8.) 12.C.3.c. Third tie-breaker: head-to-head point differential.
12.C.3.d. Fourth tie-breaker: point differential against next-highest team. (e.g., If the teams are tied for second, use point differentials against the first-place team.)
