Welcome to the 6th annual ARNOLD Sports Festival "Pickleball Championship" to be held on Friday February 28th, Saturday March 1st and Sunday March 2nd.

This will be our largest event to date and will be held at the prestigious 16 court "Paddle Taps" Pickleball Facility in Columbus, Ohio and over the course of 3 days!

We're providing multiple skill and age divisions during the three-day tournament for both singles and doubles events, so everyone has an event that fits their needs.

All divisions are Round Robin, with Top four Teams seeding into Medal Round, which will provide max playing time for everyone. The Tournament Director reserves the right to amend divisions as needed, based on registrations and time allowed to hold the event.

Men and Women Doubles, plus Mixed Doubles and singles for Men and Women, all based on skill and age.

The beautiful "Paddle Taps" Pickleball Facility includes a restaurant, bar and Pro Shop for all your Pickleball needs, along with 16 individual spacious court!

Selkirk Pro 1 will be our official Tournament ball and used all through the tournament in every division.

To help our players, we've preset the date and time for every event, so you know before registering when you're playing.

You'll need to arrive 30 minutes before your posted playing time to check in and warm up, as the posted time is the official "START" time for your matches.

During registration, you will have the opportunity to purchase a discounted ticket to the prestigious 2025 ARNOLD Sports Festival EXPO, held in downtown Columbus the same weekend!

You will also be able to purchase a DriWick Tournament Shirt at the discount price of $15.00

Over 200,000 athletes and sectators attend this event each year and looking forward to having a Pickleball presence there this year!

Registration fee is $45.00 and $15.00 per event entered.

You may enter in multiple events, such as gender singles, gender doubles and mixed doubles.

Please be advised that you have 6 days to have your partner complete the registration/payment process before being placed on "Wait List" as a Team!

PLEASE ARRIVE 30 MINUTES BEFORE THE STATED "START TIME" FOR YOUR DIVISION TO COMPLETE CHECK IN AND WARM UP.

POSTED "START TIME" IS ACUTAL TIME YOUR FIRST GAME STARTS!

This is a DUPR Event, and each player is held accountable to make sure their registered skill level matches their rating at the time of this Tournament!

The Tournament Director reserves the right to adjust your registration to the proper division, in the event your DUPR rating increases after registration and no longer meets the skill level originally entered.
