Tournament Info

Before you Register:

• All entrants must be a USAPA member. To join or renew your membership go to USAPA BEFORE you try to register.  If your membership expires prior to 2/14/23 you need to renew your membership before you register.
• Make sure your name that is on your Pickleballtournaments.com player profile account exactly matches the name on your USAPA account prior to registering.
• If you have not played in a sanctioned tournament before, and DO NOT have an established USA Pickleball rating (UTPR), make sure your Pickleballtournaments.com profile information is correct for the skill group you intend to enter in because once you are registered you cannot change to a lower rating/skill event.

Registration: 

• Registration opens on November 15, 2022.
• Registrations will be staggered based on player ratings starting with 5.0 and concluding with 3.0. You may have multiple registration times if your gender doubles and mixed doubles UTPRs are different.  You will need to reopen your registration to add your second event.
• We will monitor registration as events fill up and be moving those on wait lists into events as soon as possible. Players who are paid in full and have partners will be given first preference.
• For the benefit of players, referees, volunteers and event staff we are trying to conclude each day's events by 6:00 PM.
• Event (bracket) limits may be set low for initial registration for MEN'S DOUBLES and WOMEN'S DOUBLES only. Once all skill levels have a chance to register we will move teams from wait lists into events. THIS DOES NOT AFFECT MIXED DOUBLES (spread over two days) which can support higher event limits.

Cost:

• $75.00 (includes registration, all events, and referee fees).
• $5 discount for Pueblo El Mirage club members.

Referee Information:

• Certified Referees will be compensated $15 per match; Level 2 referees $10 per match; and Level 1 & volunteer referees $7 per match.
• To sign up to referee go to Pickleball Desk.com

Ball:

• Franklin X-40 Neon

Other Info:

• Check-in starts at 7:30 AM each day. First events of the day start promptly at 8:00 AM.
• Players must check in at least 30 minutes before their event is scheduled to start, even if you have a bye. Please note some events may start earlier than published times if we are running ahead of schedule.
• Start times may change up to the day of your event. Please check the PT website for the most current information on the night before you are scheduled to play. 
• All matches will be refereed.
• No dogs or pets permitted at the venue for player and spectator safety. Strictly enforced by resort management.
• Head injury policy: ANY PLAYER SUSTAINING A HEAD INJURY WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO RESUME PLAY UNTIL A WRITTEN MEDICAL RELEASE (signed by a licensed medical professional) IS RECEIVED. There are no exceptions.
• Events may be modified or canceled due to inclement weather. See cancellation policy for more info.
• Players, make sure you read the player letter and pre-match instructions before you arrive for your event. They will be available on this website and emailed to you a week or two prior to the tournament.

IMPORTANT!

FEES ARE TO BE PAID WHEN YOU REGISTER. Players are not confirmed in the tournament until they have a partner and both are paid. Players paid and with partners will take priority; once an event is filled players without partners and/or not paid will be placed on the wait list. Teams on the wait list who are paid will get first option to move into the event. Players who are on the wait list and do not get into any event will receive a FULL refund.
