Queen City Pickleball Hub
Warm Up to Westerns 2022
The Queen City Pickleball Hub is excited to be hosting the Warm Up to the Westerns pickleball tournament 2022. On behalf of QCPH, I welcome all pickleball athletes, volunteers and spectators to be a part of another pickleball event in beautiful Regina, Saskatchewan.
We are especially excited for the pickleball community to experience this event at our new state-of-the-art pickleball facility located in the Canada West Building on the Regina Exhibition Grounds. We know you will enjoy our top notch twelve court facility whether you are a competitor or a spectator.
Special thanks to each and every volunteer who has stepped forward to make this event possible for all participants and spectators.
Enjoy your pickleball tournament experience in Regina and best wishes to all athletes.

Format
The current International Federation of Pickleball rules will apply.
Players must be 10 years of age or older any time in 2022 in order to compete.
Age brackets: 10-49, 50 plus. Your tournament age is the age you will become in 2022. Age brackets will be combined if the number of entries does not support separating brackets by age.
All Events will be round robin with medal rounds. Players are guaranteed three games.
The tournament committee reserves the right to place players in their appropriate skill level category and to combine brackets based on registrations.
Medals will be awarded to the top three teams in each (combined) bracket.
If this is the first time you will participate in a tournament which uses the Pickleball Brackets system, give careful thought to the skill levels you recorded in your Player Profile. These skill levels plus .250 will be the starting point for your tournament rating calculation. To assist with validating the starting point for your tournament ratings, please complete the online Canadian Tournament Player Rating form by copying and pasting this link in a browser window: https://forms.gle/XSQiAnhGDKs3dkLw5
Experienced tournament players are required to enter at the highest of their current Pickleball Brackets tournament rating or UTPR as of the date of registration.
Participants may play up a skill level (.5) or down in age at the discretion of the tournament director.
The tournament committee reserves the right to place players in their appropriate skill level category and to combine brackets based on registrations.
