Tournament Description
Join us in our third year of our Annual Medina Rotary Pickleball Tournament, held on ten beautiful outdoor courts!
Our tournament is an event to raise funds for the Rotary Club. The funds raised help us support various projects and families in the Medina area.
This is a two-day tournament with five categories: Men’s Singles, Women’s Singles, Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles.
Each category will initially broken into three separate events based on rating: Beginner (up to and including 3.0), Intermediate (3.5 to 4.0) and Advanced (4.5 and up).
"IF" enough players sign up for an event then we will add age brackets to create additional events. The initial age brackets considered are: 18 & Under, 19-34, 35-49, 50-64, 65+. "Age" will be the player's age on July 8, 2023.
In the Doubles categories the team will be placed in an event based on the higher player rating.
If enough players sign up for one event then that event may be separated into two or more pools, with the winners from each pool (and possibly the 2nd-place finisher) going into the playoffs to determine the medal winners.
This tournament is open to everyone.
