It is important for all teams to arrive 20 minutes before their first game to allow ample time for check-in.

Match Format & Rules

Depending on number of teams per division and rating, we will hold a double-elimination or round robin style tournament.

For double-elimination divisions - The team that wins best 2 out of 3 games wins the match. First to 11 wins the game, must win by 2. Each match will be allotted 30 minutes to play. 

For round robin divisions - All teams will play 1 game against each other. This game is first to 15, must win by 2. At the end of round robin play the top two winners (determined by wins, then points) will play for the championship. 

This tournament takes place on tennis courts with lined pickleball boundaries. All players are required to bring their own paddles. 

Please note, this is not a sanctioned event. All games are loosely officiated by the players, we rely on the spirit of sportsmanship and honesty to keep the matches fun and enjoyable for all! Players and spectators are subject to our code of conduct.
