Notes:
1. Your partner must register within 5 days of your registration, otherwise you will be moved to the wait list.
Partners must register at the level of the highest rated partner. 
2. If your preferred event is missing in the registration form it means that the event is full. There will be a provision on the form for you to add your name to the wait list and to indicate your preferred event.

3. Event schedules and groups will be emailed after registration is complete.

4. It is essential that you sign-in at the Arena at least 15 minutes before your scheduled event
5. The Gibsons Arena will be available for practice 10:00 - 11:30 Tues, June 3 & Thurs, June 5.
6. While not mandatory, wearing protective eyewear is strongly recommended for pickleball players to minimize the risk of eye injuries from fast-moving balls and unpredictable shots.

Payment:
Payment of the $32 registration fee is by credit or debit card at the point of registration. 
 

Format:
Round robin format with medals for the first, second and third place teams in each category. Medals will be based on the # of wins. If teams are tied for the number of wins, ties will be broken first on the "head to head" scores between the tied teams. In the relatively rare event that teams are still tied, differentials will be used. This tie breaking structure is based on the USA Pickleball system for tournament play.
Games will be played first to 11. Franklin X-40 outdoor ball.

Minimum # of teams per event is 5 or the event will likely be cancelled. We may run an event with only 4 teams - if so there will be a double round. Maximum # of teams per event is 6, after which there will be a wait list. We will split an event into two pools (A & B) if there is sufficient demand (10 to 12 teams overall), assuming we don't oversubscribe our allotted per day play time for the tournament.

 

The SCPA reserves the right to move players up to a higher level if the tournament committee judges that necessary based on past performance and recent observed play. 

 

Food:
Light refreshments (veggies, fruit, muffins) will be provided free at the arena courtesy of our grocery store sponsors and the SCPA.  Restaurants nearby.

Volunteers:

​To put on an event like this we need lots of help - we will need volunteers for specific areas,
such as the check-in table, and runners to round up the players for each event.
Please contact the tournament director if you can help out.
