Description
The fifth annual The Capital Pickleball Classic brought to you by the Thurston County Pickleball Club (A registered 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to the enjoyment and growth of Pickleball in Thurston County, WA)
When registering, you will be paying for the team cost (paying for your partner in doubles). A team will cost $55 per player (+$5 service fee), at a total of $115. If one player signs up for a second group/division (for doubles), the new player who is only playing this division, will have a cost of $55, while the player who is signing up for the second division will have a cost of $15. This will be a total of (including $5 service fee) $75 for that team's registration. For a singles player sign up, and it is their second division, it would be a $15 cost (+$5 service fee) or $20 total. If a player signs up for a third division, the cost will be $10 (+$5 service fee), totaling $15.
Swish requires each player (singles) or team (doubles) to register for each event individually, with a $5 processing fee applied to each registration. Lunch can be included at $6, so consider that in your player registration so there is not another service fee. This is a very low cost tournament should you register for one or three divisions (gender doubles/mixed doubles/singles) with the overall total cost of $95 for each player. The CAPITAL PICKLEBALL CLASSIC is CHEAPER than any other tournament! Also, consider avoiding the FIFA World Cup traffic and come down to Lacey, WA for an amazing pickleball tournament!
