Format:
This is a fixed partner round robin tournament with medal rounds. Everyone is guaranteed to play a lot of pickleball!

Please enter with a partner or contact the event organizer to be paired with another player. Format and scoring will be sent to all players leading up to the tournament and may be adjusted by the tournament director. 

Expect each division to last 2 to 3 hours (an 11:30am start time should have the finals conclude by 2:30pm). We are structuring the tournament to conclude at least 45 minutes prior to Padres first pitch on August 1 and 2 to allow all fans to attend and watch the game.

Your Padres vs Astros game ticket will be an Upper Deck or Gallagher Square ticket. You will have the ability to use $40 of credit towards an upgraded seat if you choose.  The Padres will email a code to redeem for your ticket / credit directly to you within 3 days of your tournament registration.

Tournament entries are non-refundable.
