Tournament Description

The Fall Paddles at the Plex tournament host 24 covered, individually fenced, lighted courts.
Registration is $75 which includes 2 events, a lunch food voucher and a tournament gift. An additional event is $15.00. Age brackets over 60 will play on Tuesday -Thursday (Sept 5 - 7). Age brackets below 60 will play Friday - Sunday (Sept 8 - 10). There is a $10.00 discount available for Opelika Pickleball Club members. An "Early Bird" discount of $5.00 is available if registration is received and paid prior to July 18.
Age brackets are 19+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 55+, 60+, 65+ and 70+. You may sign up for below 60 or above 60 in an event, but not both for the same event. The planned format is round robin for brackets of 7 teams or less without medal playoffs.. Eight teams or more will be double elimination. Depending on the number of teams in a bracket, the tournament director reserves the right to adjust the format. Small brackets may be combined, however medals will be awarded for players in all original brackets.
Days may fill before some brackets, which could cause brackets to close based on the daily limit not the bracket size. Sign up early and complete payment for the entire team. Completed teams (both partners registered and paid) have priority on available slots. Teams not paid in full or without partners may be moved to waiting list to make room for paid teams.
All registered players will have member privileges at the Opelika Sportsplex during the tournament.
There will be food trucks available for lunch.
No pets / dogs allowed in the pavilions.
