    • Club affiliation is voluntary and is not required in order to participate.

Registration Information
  • Registration runs from January 30-March 29. Registration closes once the daily capacity has been reached.  Online registration is not available between 10pm and 5am daily.
  • Players may 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. Players must register within 48 hours of each other to secure their team spot in the tournament. Failure to do so will result in an incomplete team registration & that team will be moved to the waitlist
  • Adaptive wheelchairs can be reserved during registration for those who require one on a first-serve basis.
  • Scholarships may be available for those interested in playing in the Adaptive Mixed Unified division. Email adaptivepickleball@gmail.com to see if you qualify.
Cancellations

If an athlete cancels any of their registered divisions prior to March 29, a refund will be issued minus a $15 administrative fee. No refunds will be issued after the March 29 change & cancellation deadline. Refunds will not be issued if a) you are registered for 2+ divisions and are cancelling 1 division prior to March 29, b) changes are made to a player’s registration after March 29 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.

Substitute Partners

After March 29, 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 March 29, 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.

Inclement Weather
  • There will be no dedicated makeup day for matches that are cancelled due to inclement weather.
  • Matches that are postponed due to weather will be rescheduled on the same day, if possible. 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.
  • Stay informed about match postponements & cancellations! Follow Greenville County Rec on Twitter (@gcrecfields). Or, sign up for inclement weather text updates through the CodeRED mobile app by texting “gcrecfields” to 24639.

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.
