Good to know
Questions? We’ve got you.
A few details to help you feel ready for the day.
How does tournament registration work?
Choose a tournament ticket for your team. One player completes checkout for both teammates, adds the other player’s name and both T-shirt sizes, then selects one division. The ticket price covers the two-person team.
What if I’m new or new-ish to pickleball?
The Learn to Play Clinic is for you. Coaches will walk through the rules and basic techniques, then guide the group through fun, low-pressure games. Registration is individual, and you don’t need a partner or rating.
How do I choose a tournament division?
Novice (unrated–2.99 DUPR) is an open bracket for any pairing: men’s, women’s, or mixed. Intermediate (3.0–3.49) fits regular recreational players; Competitive (3.5+) is for experienced players looking for a faster, more challenging game. DUPR ranges are a guide, not a requirement.
Is this a rated tournament?
No. This is an unrated community tournament, and results won’t be reported to DUPR.
Will there be a 50+ bracket?
We’re collecting interest from players who are 50 or older. A 50+ bracket may be added if there’s enough interest and the schedule allows. Please register in a standard division as well.
When will I know my match or clinic time?
The schedule above is tentative. Final details may shift slightly based on division registrations and will be shared with participants before the event.
Do I need to sign a waiver?
Yes. All participants must complete Zero Zero Two Pickleball Club’s participation waiver at check-in. Event registration does not replace the venue waiver.
How does the T-shirt offer work?
The first 50 players receive a Partner Up event tee. Select each player’s size during registration; pickup details will be shared before the event.
Can I support Dementia Together without playing?
Absolutely. You can sponsor the event, make a direct gift, or come cheer. Contact Kristi about sponsorship at kristi@seniorshelpingseniors.info.
What about refunds?
Refunds are available up to 30 days before the event. Please review the current policy on the Humanitix registration page and contact the event host with any questions.
