Additional Information
This is a skill/age tournament.
This tournament will be all round-robin with a shootout of the top THREE or FOUR teams (to be determined by time/number of players within the event) for gold, silver, & bronze medals (for a non-pool event). Winning teams are determined by:
1. Round-robin win/loss record
2. If two teams tied, head-to-head with those teams involved
3. If three or more teams tied, point differential of all games played.
No events are planned for 8 or more teams as we are utilizing “flexible age groups”. This means the age groups are decided after registration aiming for the traditional breaks of 19+30+40+50+ (60+70+ on Wednesday and Thursday)
Brackets may be combined or split as needed.
Partner tip – If you are playing with a partner in a higher/lower skill or higher/lower age – please remember to register in the highest skill and lowest age.
Pickleball Is Great reserves the right to refuse service and refund any player at anytime.
