The 2024 Clack Attack Tournament by Pickleball Is Great (PIG) is set to ignite competitive pickleball action from October 25th to 27th in Clackamas, Oregon. With age and skill divisions ranging from 3.0 to 4.5+, this tournament offers a unique round-robin format with playoffs for Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals. As registration ramps up, participants are gearing up for an intense weekend of indoor pickleball at the RECS facility.
Round-Robin Format with Competitive Playoffs
One of the hallmarks of the 2024 Clack Attack is its round-robin format, where players across multiple skill levels will face off in fast-paced matches. The top four teams in each skill and age division will advance to playoffs, where they will compete for medals. Most matches are played to 15, with playoffs featuring a win-by-2 rule to ensure tight, competitive finishes. This structure is designed to give players plenty of on-court time, while maintaining a high level of competition.
Skill and Age Divisions
Players will be split into skill divisions ranging from 3.0 to 4.5+, with further age-based divisions created after registration closes. Age groups will likely be broken down into under 50, 50-59, and 60+ brackets, giving competitors a chance to face off against players of similar experience and fitness levels. While players are allowed to self-rate, tournament directors will ensure that competitors aren’t playing beneath their USA Pickleball Tournament Player Rating (UTPR), keeping matches fair and balanced.
Structured Weekend: Women’s, Mixed, and Men’s Doubles
The tournament schedule is designed to keep the action flowing throughout the weekend. Women’s doubles kick off the competition on Friday, followed by mixed doubles on Saturday, and men’s doubles wrapping up the event on Sunday. With nine permanent courts available, each match will be played on a hardcourt surface using the Franklin X-40 ball, offering a consistent experience for all competitors. The tournament also allows players to compete in up to two events.
