PLEASE NOTE:
Teams should be prepared to play at any time. The tournament schedule will be released 1 week in advance so that participants can finalize travel, lodging, etc. No round robin games will be scheduled to start past 9pm each day. However, it is possible that delays occur, pushing games to start later than 9pm. There will be no dedicated makeup day for matches missed due to inclement weather.

Mixed – 1 female player, 1 male player
18+, 50+, and 60+ age divisions

Or, ask your local USAPA ambassador for an assessment of your skill level. If you are rated with DUPR or UTPR, register using your current rating. Tournament staff will not rate players.
Tournament staff reserves the right to combine skill ratings based on registration.

How many teams are currently registered in my division?
If an athlete cancels any of their registered divisions prior to August 22, a refund will be issued minus a $15 administrative fee. No refunds will be issued after the August 22 change & cancellation deadline. Refunds will not be issued if a) you are registered for 2+ divisions and are cancelling 1 division prior to August 22, b) changes are made to a player’s registration after August 22 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 August 22, 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 will result in the team being dropped from the schedule & wins by forfeit awarded to opposing teams. After August 22, 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.
If you would like to register and do not currently have a partner, we recommend posting to the Upstate Pickleball Facebook group. Indicate 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 an Adaptive Mixed Unified and do not have a partner, email adaptivepickleball@gmail.com with your name & division of interest to help connect you with a partner.
