Description
Please don't officially sign up on this site yet. I don't want to have to refund you and have Swish fees deducted from you if we don't get enough teams! You can sign up by emailing me for now, and when I have enough teams for a division, I'll make all of you officially sign up then.

It's Mother's Day weekend, so we've got a special offer just for those mother/son or mother/daughter pickleball teams out there! If you're signing up to play with your mother (or you're a mom signing up to play with your son/daughter), email/text the TD for a discount code that will get you $10 off per person. (Unless you're a Bay Club member, in which case, you're getting a $15 discount already; message the TD for that code.)
The tournament will be hosted at Bay Club Broadway on 6 permanent indoor courts with outdoor surfaces. We will use Franklin X-40 balls for the tournament.
You do not need to be a member of The Bay Club to participate.

All the matches are DUPR rated except for the Family Fun division. These matches are meant to be just for fun and would be suitable for parent/child teams, for example.
Family Fun: At least one team member in this division needs to be 70+yo or under 12yo. (You could even have multiple people subbing in and out for your team during the tournament. For example, if you have two kids, you can play with either of them, or the two kids can play together for any of the games during the tournament. However the rule above is still in place.)
Feel free to message the TD with any questions; I can help you figure out which level is suitable.
Tournament Director may move teams up or down in division in order to keep tournament play competitive.
If you do not have a DUPR, you'll have to create a free account on the DUPR site in order to get a DUPR ID for registration.

There is a limit of 8 teams per division for the tournament. The number of teams may be adjusted depending on the total number of teams participating. First games will start promptly at the listed start times. Please try to arrive 30 minutes ahead of time to check-in and warm up. During the tournament, warm-ups will be limited to 2 minutes prior to game start.
To start a match, follow standard conventions to determine who gets to call serve or side. Teams switch sides at 6 points for games to 11 and at 8 points for games to 15. Some suggestions:
Toss a coin and have someone on the other team call it
Hold up one or two fingers behind your back and have one of your opponents behind you to see while the other opponent calls the number in front of you.
Line calls are made by the team who is on the side that the ball lands on. If the two members of the team cannot agree on whether a ball was in/out, then the ball is considered in. If there is truly a disagreement over a line call, just replay the point.
One timeout is allowed per team per game. Each timeout should last no longer than 1 minute. As needed, medical timeouts can be taken.
Team seeding for play-offs will be determined by 1) matches won, 2) head to head, 3) point differential.
Matchups for each round and score-keeping will be done within the Swish app, so be sure to download the app to your phone and have that handy for the tournament!
