Registration runs from July 14 – September 8, 2023. Registration closes once the daily capacity has been reached or on September 8, whichever comes first. Players can sign up for one division each day.
Registrants are required to list a partner at time of registration. Both partners must pay the registration fee before a team is added to the tournament schedule. Failure to register at the same time as your partner will result in the first registrant being placed on the waitlist until their partner registers.
Adaptive wheelchairs can be reserved during registration for those who require one on a first-serve basis.
Scholarships are available for those interested in playing in either the Mixed Unified or Open Adaptive divisions. Email adaptivepickleball@gmail.com to see if you qualify.
If an athlete cancels any of their registered divisions prior to September 8th, a refund will be issued minus a $15 administrative fee. No refunds will be issued after the September 8th change & cancellation deadline. Refunds will not be issued if a) you are registered for 2+ divisions and are cancelling 1 division prior to September 8th) b) changes are made to a player’s registration after September 8th that are outside of injury, sickness, or other unforeseen emergency circumstance, or c) there is inclement weather and, as a result, a player’s division is unable to be played.
After September 8th, a substitute partner must be declared to tournament staff for the team to remain in the tournament. The substitute partner must be of the same skill level & age division as the person they are replacing. Failure to do so may result in the team being dropped from the schedule & wins by forfeit awarded to opposing teams. After September 8th, a substitute partner will assume the registration fee paid by the original partner. Substitute partners must commit to replacing the original partner for 100% of all scheduled games. A second substitute partner is not permitted once the team’s first round robin game has begun.
- There will be no dedicated makeup day for matches that are cancelled due to inclement weather.
- Matches that are postponed due to weather may be rescheduled on the same day. Registrants who no-show for re-scheduled matches will forfeit those matches and, as a result, are not eligible to receive a refund.
- Matches that are cancelled due to weather will not be rescheduled. Registrants will not be issued a refund for cancelled matches.

If you are registering for Women’s, Mixed, or Men’s division and do not have a partner, we recommend posting to the Upstate Pickleball Facebook group indicating the skill & age division you would like to play in to see if someone local would like to team up!
If you are registering for the Mixed Unified or Open Adaptive divisions and do not have a partner, email adaptivepickleball@gmail.com with your name & division of interest to help connect you with a partner.
