OPEN events qualification: Players with a 4.5 from a recognized rating authority (PBR, UTPR) will have priority for OPEN events. At least one player must have 4.5 rating. Teams with a cumulative rating of less than 4.5 may be moved to a waitlist to accommodate higher rated teams.
IMPORTANT REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
RATINGS: Players must register at or above the higher of their UTPR, PBR, or self rating.
Players are expected to assess their individual skills objectively and register in events that reflect the skill of the stronger player regardless of their actual rating. Tournament Director reserves the right to disqualify any team from playing in an event where that team could reasonably be expected to have a significant skill advantage over other teams in the bracket.
DUPR: We are prohibited by PickleballBrackets/PickleballTournaments from submitting tournament results to DUPR. We do not use or check DUPR ratings. Please do not ask.
PARTNERS: You have 3 days from registration for your partner to register and get added to the event with you. After 3 days, you may be wait listed and may not get back into the event unless/until there is an opening. It is your responsibility to notify your partner.
