Tournament Details and Format
The Spring Classic will follow a double-elimination format for most events, with single-elimination rounds for smaller divisions. Matches will be played to 11 points in the winners’ bracket and 15 points in the opportunity bracket.
The competition will feature categories based on skill level, with prizes awarded for open events and high skill brackets with eight or more participants.
Participants must compete at their designated skill level or higher. If a team’s registration is incomplete, the pair will be placed on a waitlist, and both players must be registered and paid for the team to be considered fully registered.
Registration and Fees
The registration fee is $75 per person, with an additional $10 fee per event. Open-level events will charge a $25 entry fee.
Administrative fees will also apply, and any player withdrawing before March 1, 2025, will incur a $5 withdrawal fee. No refunds will be issued after March 1. Those who register before March 1 will receive a free tournament shirt, while supplies last.
Prize Money and Swag Bags
Open events will feature over $2000 in prize money, awarded based on the percentage of entrance fees collected. Swag bags will be given to players who register before March 1, 2025, with a free tournament shirt included.
Venue and Parking
The tournament will be held at the Mercer Bucks Pickleball Club, located at 370 Sullivan Way, Ewing, NJ. The facility offers ample parking, and there is no parking fee. However, players should ensure they register early to avoid being placed on the waitlist, as spots are limited.
