Tournament Format

There are 7 divisions planned. Divisions will be formed by women’s doubles, mixed doubles, men’s doubles and open (age 60+ men, women or mixed), as well as skill level. Matches will have standard “side out” scoring to 11 points, win by one point. Score will be kept and reported by the teams playing. If time becomes an issue, then rally scoring may be needed. 

Each team will play 4 matches in division pool play. The cumulative scores from pool play will determine seeding for a single elimination bracket. Pool play matches will likely be played with 3 pickleball courts on each basketball court. Tournament ball will be orange indoor Onix Fuse.

Divisions Schedule:
8-11am* / Women’s Doubles 3.0, 3.5 & Open 3.0 (Age 60+ only)
11-2pm* / Mixed Doubles 3.0 &  3.5
2-5pm* / Men’s Doubles 3.0 & 3.5
