The Frontline Foundation will host the Hearts and Heroes Charity Tournament from February 14 to February 16, 2025, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. This pickleball event, open to all skill levels, aims to raise funds for the Frontline Family Foundation, which provides grants to veterans, first responders, and their families to access care and treatment.
Event Details
The tournament will feature competitive pickleball action, with games played on concrete flooring using professional nets and taped lines. Participants can register for $50, with the option to sign up for additional events at $40 each. The tournament will run from February 15 to February 16, with registration closing on February 10.
Skill levels and age will be used to determine event participation. Although this tournament is not DUPR-rated, players with a DUPR or USAPA UTPR rating must use their official rating. Those without a rating may self-rate.
Tournament Format
In events with eight or more teams, participants will compete in seeded pools, with the top teams advancing to a playoff round. For smaller events with seven teams or fewer, a round-robin format will be used.
Teams registering together for doubles or mixed doubles must ensure both players sign up within five days of each other for a guaranteed spot.
