Upper Bay Pickleball proudly presents Winterfest 2025 at the Pickle Factory! This is the first of 4 major tournaments at the Pickle Factory this year. After each tournament players will receive points toward the Pickle Factory Cup Championship. Points will be based on where a player finished in their overall bracket. The players with the top points will be invited back for the Pickle Factory Cup Championships in December. The more tournaments you play the more points you can earn toward the year's total.

Early bird pricing ends on December 21, 2024. As with all Upper Bay Pickleball tournaments, you will receive entry into up to 2 events with your registration. We look forward to seeing you again at this year's Winterfest.

Brackets and registration are based on your DUPR rating. Please register for the appropriate bracket based on your DUPR rating. If you do not have a DUPR rating, we suggest you sign up. In the case of players that do not have a DUPR rating, they will register under their pickleballbrackets rating. As always, you can play up in skill level but cannot play down. For example, if you are a 3.5 but your partner is a 4.2 you would play in the 4.0-4.5 bracket.

RULES

While this tournament isn’t sanctioned, we’ll be adhering to USA Pickleball rules, including using only paddles from the approved paddle list. Let’s play fair and play hard!

There will be no refunds given after registration closes on January 12, 2025.

Any refunds given will be the original amount minus any pickleballbrackets fees ($5 per registered bracket).

If you need a replacement partner after registration closes, please contact us. If a replacement player is found, the original player's fee will be refunded as long as the replacement player pays the registration. All replacement players must be eligible for the original bracket or the team will be moved. For example, if you are in the 3.5-4.0 bracket and try to substitute a 4.3 player, you will be moved into the 4.0-4.5 bracket.

We recommend eye protection for all players, especially for minors. All players will be required to sign our waiver prior to participating in the tournament.
