Playing in Events:

Brackets will be filled on a first come basis. As a waitlist develops, we will be managing bracket sizes to accommodate demand and court availability. Therefore, bracket maximums may be adjusted from registration opening to day of play.

PARTNER REPLACEMENT POLICY

After registration is closed, any registered player losing a partner must replace that partner with an already registered player. The replacement partner must be in the same skill/age group that you are scheduled to play. Players can play down in age and up in skill. Replacements need to be known and communicated to the registration coordinator, Robin Weaver at rgweaver56@gmail.com by 6pm the day before you are scheduled to play. Replacements can be found on the players needing partners list.

REFEREE COVERAGE

The 2024 RMC policy regarding match officiating recognizes and combines the importance of player experience and the logistics of efficiently utilizing the tournament's officiating team. Professional, alert, and rested Referees are as crucial as any other element in a well-run tournament. The tournament's responsibility is to provide its players with officiating based on these criteria. While appreciating the significance of match officiating, it represents one of many factors critical to ensuring an optimal tournament experience.

The Operations and Referee Coordinators will make every effort during the 2024 RMC to ensure that all medal matches are officiated. However, this may not be possible or in the player's best interest under certain unforeseen circumstances. The process of determining referee coverage during the RMC is based on two key factors: the availability of referees and the significance of the match (such as a medal match). Except for the medal matches, the court assignment/scheduling priorities will limit the time players wait between matches while maximizing the usage of available courts and available Referees. If, when a match is being assigned to a court, the Referee Coordinator determines that a referee is available and not required for an upcoming medal match, he and the Operations Coordinator may elect to have the match officiated.

The RMC continues to focus on player experience and maintaining its role as the region's premier pickleball tournament. We hope the preceding illustrates this and look forward to welcoming you to the 2024 Rocky Mountain Championships.
