NEW THIS YEAR
No need to run to your pc, tablet or phone to register and hope you can type faster than everyone else. For 2019 we will be making a change to the registration process as outlined below;
- Pre-registration for those that qualify will open on July 15. Those players will receive a letter inviting them to register starting July 15, 2019 with general registration opening on August 1, 2019.
- General registration will open on August 1, 2019 at mid-night PDT. When general registration opens players will be allowed, for a one week period, to register at a time that is convenient for you with no priority given by timestamp of when you registered. On August 8th a random lottery draw will take place to determine who gets spots in events for the remaining spots left after pre-registration. Players will be notified if they got a spot by August 22nd.
- When a player’s name is drawn, they and their partner will be entered in that event. Each event will go through the lottery selection.
- Once all spots are filled those players that did not get drawn from the lottery will be placed on a wait list in order by which they are drawn.
- Anyone registering after August 7, 2019 will be placed on the wait list after those from the lottery.
We hope this method of registration will prove to relieve the anxiety of having to have the fastest network or typing fingers to get a spot. We feel this process will give all an equal chance to get into all available events.
Also new this year - photo required for credential. To avoid delay at check in, you can submit your photo prior to arriving.
Email a passport style photo (plain background, full face headshot only) in jpg format to credentials@desertchampions.
Please make sure your photo shows your full face and there are no hats, sunglasses, busy backgrounds, etc in the photo. Do not send photos of your passport or drivers’ license as they are not usable in our program.
If you are unable to send a photo ahead of time, we will take your photo when you arrive onsite. Please allow additional time for this when checking in.

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.

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
