UPDATE: please note that we have having an issue with putting medal matches in to PB right now. Due to their loss of staff and live chat options with tech; these answers are getting resolved much slowly than usual. We will be attempting to reach out to their tech Sunday to resolve these issues and get all medal matches posted online. If I do not hear back from PB prior to Sunday late morning, I will just post the results here from the Saturdays matches so at least they can be made public somehow.

Thank you all for your patience. Also, congrats to all who left with a free pizza tonight. Also, it looks like the fruit was a big hit as well. It looks like the cheese, meet and cracker option with condiments did well too.

We are happy to provide food options for our players and friends. Thank you all who played on Saturday and we are looking forward to a great Sunday.

Tim, Keli and staff

Please make sure you READ ALL THE INFORMATION LISTED BELOW REGARDING THIS EVENT

DATES and BASIC SCHEDULING

This tournament will be held on Saturday March 22nd and Sunday March 23rd.

Men's and Women's Doubles will be on Saturday. Mixed Doubles will be on Sunday.

Please sign up for events based on your rating. You can find those ratings either in your profile via PB account or through your DUPR account.

Players MUST have a DUPR rating within .25 to play up in level. For example: if your DUPR is a 3.25 and you want to play 3.5+, you will not be accepted into the draw. You would need to have a 3.26 in order to qualify for 3.5+.

The reason we do this is to maintain consistency of level and strength of match play.

If you have issues signing up online, please email me as I will reach out to the PB team and find the resolution to the issue ASAP.

DUPR ratings

If you do not have a DUPR account, please go to DUPR.com and create one. You will be able to attach your PB account to DUPR so that you end up getting rating points.

DUPR ratings will be the primary way of rating. Our secondary rating will be self-rating. Please contact the tournament director if you have issues with the divisions you are allowed to play

(please understand that DUPR is peer based as in, ratings are based on score differentials instead on win/lose records.) Players ratings are taken into account and are weighed based on the score of the match between players.

Our goal is to provide the best competition across all levels in Pickleball tournaments as possible.
