The APP Cayman Islands Open tournament is set for March 20-23, 2025. Players are encouraged to register early to secure their spots in this exciting event. To participate, players must pay their fees in full upon registration, as exceptions cannot be made.
Important Registration Details for Players
To be confirmed as registered for the tournament, players must meet specific requirements. For singles amateur divisions, players must register and pay their tournament fees.
In doubles events, both partners need to be registered and have paid their fees. If a partner has not registered, teams may be placed on the tournament waitlist. It is crucial for players to comply with these rules to participate in the event.
Rules for Amateur Competitors
All amateur players can participate in only one division per day. Tournament brackets will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. As the waitlist develops, the APP will manage bracket sizes to meet demand, which may lead to adjustments from the opening of registration to the day of play.
Partner Replacement Policy
What should players do if their partner can no longer compete? If a registered player loses their partner after registration closes, they must replace them with another registered player.
This replacement must be in the same skill and age group. Players can play down in age or up in skill, but any changes need to be communicated to the registration coordinator via email by 4 PM the day before play.
Fees and Cancellation Policies
The player entry fee is $90, which includes an athlete credential. The amateur division fee is $35, while the OPEN division fee is $135 for those vying for prize money.
Players can also choose to purchase registration and weather insurance, providing a refund option if they withdraw before the cancellation deadline of February 20, 2025.
Adhering to the Code of Conduct
All participants must follow the Player Code of Conduct. This ensures a positive experience for everyone at the tournament. By adhering to the code, players help maintain the quality and integrity of the APP tournament experience.
As the pickleball tournament approaches, players should ensure they understand all registration requirements and fees to avoid any issues.
