Tournament format:

All events feature a round-robin format, ensuring each player competes against others in their group or subgroup. Depending on the time, we will aim to have the top 2-4 seeded teams per event advance to a single-elimination playoff bracket.

Planned format:

Round Robin games will be played to 11, win by 1. Medal match will be played to 15, win by 2. The Tournament Director reserves the right to combine skill/age brackets based on team numbers.

Registration Details:

You can register and identify your partner or request a partner. You will have 5 days from the first player registration to have both players registered. After 5 days, the one player registered will be moved to the waitlist. Selecting “Need Partner” indicates your availability, though finding a partner remains your responsibility.

There will be a waiting list – when someone withdraws, or a team does not have both players registered within a 5-day period, a team on the waiting list will take their place. If a team withdrawal happens after 6 pm the day before the event, no waitlisted teams will be moved to the main event.

Reservation of Right:

New Albany City and the Tournament Director retain the right to refuse service at any juncture. Please be aware that a daily player limit may necessitate the abrupt cessation of registration for specific events or the entire day without prior notice.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to your participation in the New Albany City First Annual Pickleball Tournament.
