If you do not have a partner for an event, yet you would like to play, register and you may find someone through our partner search option.

Registration is online only.  Registration is not complete until BOTH partners have registered, signed the online waiver and paid.

Once an event reaches its maximum registered teams, other teams will be moved to the waitlist. 

The tournament committee reserves the right to combine skill groups based on registration.

Cancellation Policy

Directions

Format

Current IFP rules apply.  No non-conforming equipment permitted.

This tournament will count toward UTPR ratings, even though pt.com and PCO have not reached an agreement which would enable Canadian tournament directors to access UTPRs for seeding purposes.

Therefore, seeding for event brackets will be inaccurate and subjective.  Sorry.

Please use your UTPRs when registering.  If you don't have one, use your legacy rating.  If you have both, use your UTPRs.  Players are responsible for registering in the correct skill categories.  Players who register below their skill level(s) and do not adjust it by July 23, may be removed from the tournament.

To maximize the number of games teams can play, the tournament format will be round robin for the majority of the events and brackets.  Once the round robin play has concluded, the top teams from each round robin pool will enter a single elimination, play-off style round to determine the winner for each separate event bracket.   All Open events will be double elimination.

To level the playing field for participants, we are structuring the tournament according to skill levels.  Unless skill levels will be combined due to a shortage of participants in a particular bracket, you will only play those players with a similar skill rating.  If you do not know what your skill level is, we ask you to read the chart provided at http://ipickleball.org/ratings/IFP_ratings_descriptions.html and rate yourself.  Alternatively, you may ask your fellow picklers to rate you after asking them to review the chart.

Please keep in mind that if your doubles partner has a higher skill rating than you do, you must register in the higher bracket.  For example, if your partner has a 4.0 rating and yours is 3.5, you must register for the 4.0 bracket.  “You may play up, but not play down”.

The tournament director has the final say on your skill rating.
