🏆 Brackets

This tournament has two brackets.

Please read the description of each bracket carefully, and if one fits you, please register!

🟢 Bracket One: Advanced Beginner to Low Intermediate

This bracket is for you if:

• You would register in an Advanced Beginner to Low Intermediate open play or skills & drills group at your club
• At open play, you usually fit best with the middle-to-lower side of the group
• You can rally, but errors still happen often, especially when opponents speed the game up or use a lot of power
• You’re looking for fun, well-matched games with just the right amount of friendly competition

🟦 Bracket Two: Intermediate

This bracket is for you if:

• You would register in an Intermediate open play or skills & drills group at your club
• At open play, you are usually one of the stronger players and can hold your own
• You’re looking for stronger, spicier competition
• You compete hard but still bring great sportsmanship, encouragement, and good energy to the court

Are you above a DUPR 3.7? We’re proud of you, but you’re too strong for this one.

👑 A Quick Note About Levels

This tournament is designed for Advanced Beginner to Low Intermediate and Intermediate players. Chicks who know how to play the game but haven't graduated to true Hot Shot status (yet).

PickleballChicks™ may review DUPR, club ratings, known gameplay, or registration details to help keep brackets fair and fun. If we believe you’re not registered at the right level, we may contact you, move you if space allows, or cancel and refund your registration.

Note:

Not every tournament is the right fit for every player, and that’s okay. If you honestly see yourself in one of the two brackets above, we’d love to have you register. If you’re well above this level or not quite ready for this format yet, we kindly ask you to sit this one out so the games stay fair, fun, and fabulous for the Chicks on court.
