Tournament Brackets
9:00 AM-11:00 AM
- Bracket #1: The Rally Rookies (Beginner Bracket): New to pickleball or just here for a good time? This bracket is for players who love the game but don’t take themselves too seriously. You’re learning the ropes, perfecting that serve, and discovering the magic of a well-placed dink. Expect friendly rallies, good vibes, and plenty of laughs; because winning is fun, but playing for a purpose is even better!
12:00 PM-2:00 PM
- Bracket #2: The Court Crusaders (Intermediate Bracket): You’ve moved past just dinkin’ around and are starting to own the court! This bracket is for players who can rally, place their shots with purpose, and know when to drop one into the kitchen. You’ve got some strategy up your sleeve, but you’re still all about the fun. Expect lively games, lots of laughs, and maybe a few bragging rights by the end of the day!
3:00 PM-5:00 PM
- Bracket #3: Anything Goes (Open Division-Any Skill Level Bracket): This is where the fun heats up! Think you've got what it takes? This bracket is open to anyone ready for a little more competition! Grab your paddle and bring your best game—beginner, intermediate, advanced, or somewhere in between. There are no skill-level labels here, just good pickleball, friendly competition, and bragging rights on the line.
