Welcome to the Western Australian Mixed Doubles Summer Championships on 3 December 2023, held at the Nollamara Tennis Club.

This is a fun, but competitive mixed doubles event followed by a social evening to celebrate the festive season with our PAWA members.

If you cannot find a partner do not despair. Just register and we will find one for you.

The PAWA plan is to play a single day tournament between 8am and 5pm followed up with a Xmas Social Event all at Nollamara Tennis Club. Hopefully get as many of the PAWA members together as possible whether they are playing or not.

Nollamara Tennis Club is a licensed venue with a cafeteria therefore food and drinks are are for sale throughout the day.

This tournament will use the current USA Pickleball Official Rules 2023. They can be found at: USA Pickleball (https://usapickleball.org/what-is-pickleball/official-rules/).

- The tournament director reserves the right to cancel or modify the events and/or schedule as needed pending influences beyond our control (eg. Insufficient numbers in Events, Weather, etc).

At this point of time in Western Australia our members ratings are not yet at a mature point therefore we have named the skill in events as "Beginner", "Intermediate" and "Advanced".

A general guide to this would be if your skill rating from Brackets or DUPR is;;

Beginner - <3.0

Intermediate - 3.0 - 3.99

Advanced - >= 4.0

The Tournament Officials will know the majority of players and will reserve the right, with consultation, to reallocate players into skill levels that reflects their skill level.

Approaching registration closed we will pair up players requiring a partner.

PLEASE NOTE:

- Skill Levels: For doubles, you must sign up at the skill level of the higher rated partner.

- Players with a Pickleballbrackets.com rating must use that rating

- This is not a DUPR tournament and as such PAWA will not be imputing any results into DUPR. However if players wish to self manage this, they are welcome to under the condition that this is agreed by all participants in the match prior to the commencement of the match.

Refunds are available up until the close of registration but will incur a $5 service fee.

No refunds will be offered once registration is closed.
