Welcome to the first annual Komodo Pickleball Tournament!

Komodo Pickleball is one of the sport’s leading paddle manufacturers, pioneering thermaform technology and precisely engineered directional carbon fiber paddle faces. After years of providing high quality gear and earning the trust of top-ranked players, we’re thrilled to step into the pickleball event space with our inagural tournament!

Please join us at the newly opened Lincoln Park Pickleball Complex in Grand Junction, Colorado for the Komodo Open! With four days of events, including a junior tournament, singles brackets, pro matches, and a pro-instructed camp, this tournament is a can’t miss event from both the player and spectator perspective.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT: Pool play in ALL divisions. Teams will play 3-5 seeding matches in 1-3 randomly generated pools based on bracket size, followed by a single elimination bracket. ALL teams advance to single elimination playoff rounds, seeded by total record with all pools combined. Bronze medal match will be played by losers of the semifinal round.

Tournament director reserves the right to split or combine brackets as needed to ensure balanced bracket sizes and a guaranteed four games per team.

DIVISIONS: Skill-based brackets in singles, mixed doubles, and gendered doubles will range from 3.0 (Beginner) to 5.0+/Open (Professional). Additional age-based brackets will be offered for our senior divisions (60+) and junior divisions (8-16).

Players are welcome (and encouraged) to register for multiple events. In addition to playing in singles and doubles categories, players can also register at multiple skill brackets (i.e. 4.0 AND 4.5) as long as the start times do not conflict. This is intended to offer players the opportunity to play UP, not play down - DUPR scores will be verified upon registration to prevent sandbagging.

Junior players are welcome to also register for the standard brackets, but these entries will not be at the discounted junior rate.

CASH PRIZES: Cash will be awarded to winners in ALL regular bracket skill levels, with a total payout of over $15,000. Junior tournament prizes will be Komodo paddles, bags, and swag.

PERKS: All registrants will receive a FREE swag bag with gear provided by Komodo Pickleball and our generous sponsors.
