Join us as we celebrate Pickleball Haven's 1-Year Anniversary with The Haven Cup, our biggest tournament yet. This two-day indoor tournament brings together players from across Southern California for a weekend of great competition, community, and celebration. Featuring fixed partners, multiple skill divisions, and guaranteed matches, The Haven Cup is designed to give every team plenty of court time while competing for medals, prizes, and bragging rights.

All match results will be officially reported to DUPR.



Requirements

This is a DUPR-rated and regulated event. All players must have a DUPR account (but not a DUPR rating) to participate. If you don't have one, you can sign up at https://dashboard.dupr.com/signup. While it may appear that there is a fee during the signup process, please note that creating an account is completely free.

You do not need an established rating to enter — players listed as N/A may register for any division they feel is appropriate. All DUPR ratings are verified at the time of registration.

Once you have the app, navigate to your main profile and click the share button to locate your unique DUPR ID. This is the identification number you will need to include with your registration. That is all you need to do to get started.


🗓️ Divisions & Schedule

Divisions are intended for players around the stated level. Tournament staff may adjust teams or divisions to maintain competitive balance.

Divisions will be merged or canceled by August 15 if minimum signup thresholds are not met. Bracket start times, total games played, and overall length of play are subject to change and will be finalized after the registration deadline. The final schedule will be shared a few days before the event.
