Team Event Pickleball is an innovative team competition where teams of 4 players (2 women and 2 men) compete against each other in an engaging format, with twists on traditional match-ups and scoring for games, matches, and tiebreakers. Teams compete against each other in Matches using rally scoring.
Matches are composed of four 21-point games, one women’s doubles, a men’s doubles, and the final two games consisting of mixed doubles. If both teams are tied at 2-2 after the 4 games are played, they’ll go to a singles tie breaker, In which one person from each team plays singles against the other team’s player, switching players every four rallies until someone gets to 21 and wins by two points.

Once a team registers for the event, their ratings are “locked” and their DUPR increasing or decreasing will not impact the team’s aggregate or division placement.
To sign up for this event, a DUPR account is required at the time of registration. Not rated players can play; however, their estimated rating will be verified by the tournament director.

You will be locked to a rating based on the division you register for.

For example:

For division 14, a NR player will be automatically rated 3.5.

For division 16, a NR player will be automatically rated 4.0.

For division 18, a NR player will be automatically rated 4.5.

For division 20, a NR player will be automatically rated 5.0

If you want to play in the Team event but are unable to form a team, the tournament director will do their best to place you on a team. For players that are not placed, thus not playing the event, their registration fees will be refunded.

This event will consist of a full or partial Round Robin with the top two teams from the Round Robin playing for Gold and next two teams playing for Bronze. Director reserves the right to change format. Format will be notified during coaches meeting.
