The Mile High Showdown: Join the Ultimate Pickleball Challenge

Pickleball enthusiasts in Colorado are gearing up for an exciting weekend as Point Blank Athletics (PBA) presents its first-ever The Mile High Showdown on September 28, 2024, in Centennial, Colorado. This event aims to bring together athletes of all levels for a competitive, yet enjoyable, atmosphere with high-quality play, prize money, and unforgettable experiences.

What to Expect at the Mile High Showdown?

Taking place at SSIA Pickleball, the pickleball tournament is an unsanctioned event designed for players looking to refine their skills without the pressure of DUPR ratings. With doubles brackets ranging from 3.0 to 4.5, participants are guaranteed at least two games in a double-elimination format.

The first teams to 11 points, with a win-by-2 rule, will advance, giving players ample opportunity to compete and improve. PBA emphasizes self-rating honesty and encourages participants to experience tournament-level play while partnering with whomever they choose.

A Focus on Player Experience

Point Blank Athletics has made sure to focus on more than just competition. Snacks, fruit, and water will be provided for players throughout the event. Cash prizes will be awarded to Gold medalist teams, who will receive $100 per winning team, while silver and bronze teams will receive medals and social media recognition.

Tournament Rules and Logistics

Participants are required to check in 30 minutes before their scheduled games, and failure to do so will result in disqualification. The tournament will take place on four indoor air-conditioned tennis hardcourts with portable nets, offering a controlled and comfortable environment for all matches.

The event’s bracket limits are set at eight teams per division, but waitlists will be utilized to ensure maximum participation. Players are urged to sign up promptly to secure their spots. The final schedule will be released on September 21, 2024.

An Exciting Future for PBA Events
