Tournament Events/Divisions

How Did We Determine These Divisions?

Each venue is like a unique pickleball court puzzle, and the number of courts sets the pieces! While some venues let us spread out and expand our division list, others cozy us up for a more intimate play. But no matter the size, at Pickleball Power Play, our top priority is to keep you in the game, serving and scoring! Remember, it's the venue's size that shapes the divisions, but it's our mission to ensure you enjoy plenty of action on the court.

Tournament disclaimer

Our primary objective is to ensure minimal wait times while guaranteeing ample play for all participants. In the event of uneven teams within a round robin draw, some teams may receive a bye. This approach is taken to maintain the fairness and integrity of the tournament. Should specific level draws not be met, our directors will promptly communicate with the affected participants. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. Please read our Rules and Policy.

Registration FAQ

Do I need both a Pickleball Tournaments Account and a DUPR Account?

Yes, all players are required to have both a Pickleball Brackets Account and a DUPR Account. 

schedule FAQ

Why do some Skill Divisions have "A" and some have "B"? 

This means that the first division filled up and now we have created another division for that skill set. Labeling the divisions "A", "B" lets the player know that there is an additional opportunity. Sometimes we can just expand the existing division due to court space so the next option is to simply create another brand new division that is the same skill and put it at a different time and maybe even day.
