Cancellation Policy

Registrations are considered complete when all fees have been paid, the waiver signed, and partners with complete registrations have been named for all doubles events. A complete registration determines a player's registration date should an event exceed the capacity of the venue and registrations must be prioritized to determine which players will compete in the event.

Player's names will appear in the alphabetic list of players if they have registered and didn't pay. However, a player cannot be confirmed into the tournament until paid.  A players request for a partner will automatically appear on PickleballTournaments.com in the Needs Partner list.

Withdrawals: Registration and event fees will be refunded, to those in events, less a $25 processing fee if the withdrawal is completed by September 1, 2019.   Wait listed ONLY players will not be charged a processing fee and may remain on the wait list throughout the duration of the tournament.  

No refunds for any reason after September 1, 2019.

Refunds will be issued after registration closes for those players who have a credit balance.  Refunds will be processed as a credit to the original form of payment where possible.  Checks will only be issued when electronic forms of payment are not available (ie. closed accounts or other reasons precluding an electronic transaction).  Refunds will be processed, after the tournament has ended, by November 30, 2019, for players who did not get off of the wait list.

There will be no refunds for events that are cancelled due to inclement weather.

Email requests for refunds should be sent to: nationalsreg@usapa.org.

Format

Format: Double Elimination

Ball: DuraFast 40

The Pro/Senior Pro 50+ Events are for 5.0+ rated players.  The player must have an official USAPA/IFP UTPR Rating of 5.0 or higher at the time of registration to participate in any Pro event at Nationals. Any event that does not reach capacity by 8/15/19 will be opened to 4.5 players. 

For 2019 we will be adding a Senior Pro 65+ division.  This is on a trial basis and limited to 16 teams with no prize money to be awarded. Open to 4.5+ rated players who are 65 years of age or older.  5. 0 UTPR rated players will take priority over 4.5 players, so if there are 16 5.0's that enter the 4.5's would be wait listed.

Bracket Format as follows:

• 1, 2 or 3 teams will be combined to provide the most competitive competition
• 4 – 5 teams, Round Robin
• 6 teams or more, Double Elimination

USAPA ratings are earned by playing in USAPA/IFP Sanctioned tournaments as well as nonsanctioned tournaments. Players interested in playing in the National Championships Pro Events should check the ratings page on USAPA.org to determine if they have a rating. Unrated players must play in a designated Tier 2 or Tier 3 USAPA Sanctioned tournament between 7/15/18 -7/15/19. We will be using the new rating system for this year’s event. The player must have an official USAPA/IFP UTPR Rating of 5.0 or higher at the time of registration to participate in any open category at Nationals. Any event that does not reach capacity by 8/15/19 will be opened up to 4.5 players
