SAFE & FUN for beginner and intermediate levels (ages 18 and up). There is no shame in this game. If you don’t have a partner, you will be paired with someone of a similar self-rated skill level,
see below.
This will be a skinny doubles event in which partners can be of either gender (both male, both female, or one male/one female). Mixed partners are preferred.
Tournament Format: Double Elimination - First to 11, best 2 of 3: Best 2 out of 3 games. Each game is won by the first to 11 points.
Our Raise & Rally Pickleball Charity Event will follow a double-elimination format, meaning each team is guaranteed at least two games. You’re not out after one loss—teams will have a chance to battle back through the loser's bracket for a shot at the finals!
To keep the tournament moving smoothly, games will be played first to 11 points.
Assigned individuals, match times, and additional player information can be found on our website 3 days before the event.
Equipment:
We will provide and play with ONIX Fuse Indoor Pickleballs
We will have paddles “on loan” if you don’t have one.
