Team Format and Rules

Each team can comprise any combination of men and women for a registration fee of $55 per person. This pickleball tournament will follow the MLP Rally format, where teams will engage in matches consisting of three games to 21 points (win by 2 or first to 25, win on serve). Notably, each player will compete in one game with every teammate during a team match.

In each match, one team will be designated as the home team while the other is the away team. The away team will provide their lineup first, and the home team will serve first. Teams are limited to a maximum of four per bracket, with a guarantee of at least nine games per team.

Brackets and Playoffs

There will be two brackets based on DUPR ratings: DUPR 15 and DUPR 17. Players without a DUPR rating will be assigned a default rating of 3.75 for DUPR 15 and 4.25 for DUPR 17. The top teams from each bracket will advance to the playoff round, which includes both semi-finals and finals.

  • Brackets: DUPR 15 & DUPR 17
  • Advancement: Top teams move to playoffs (semi-finals and finals)

Tiebreakers will be determined first by head-to-head outcomes and then by point differential.
