Golden Triangle Rotary's 1st Annual Veteran’s Pickleball Tournament Fundraiser Tournament Info:
To sponsor the event or register/sponsor a team, please click this link or the link below. For team registration or sponsoring, select “Team Sponsor” in the drop down item selection.
This will be an unsanctioned, open play tournament. At least one member of each team will be a Veteran, Active Duty, or Reservist from any branch of military service. This tournament will be a “Pro-Am” style setup where the Veteran/Active Duty/Reservist is the “Pro” and the other team member is the “Amateur”. However, both members of a team can be Veterans, Active Duty, or Reservists. There will be a max of twenty (20) teams divided into five (5) pools of four (4) teams. Each team will play the 3 other teams in their pools. The top 2 teams in each pool will then compete in a 10-team, single elimination “Championship Bracket” tournament. The bottom 2 teams in each pool will then compete in a 10-team, single elimination “Cellar Dwellers Bracket” tournament. Each team will be guaranteed a minimum of 4 matches; 3 in pool play and one in tournament play. We’ll do our best to spread the experience level across the pools. Game play will be best of one, 15-point rally matches, win by 1 point, to ensure quick play. However, there will be a 15 minute max time limit per game. The first team to 15 points wins, or the team with the most points at the end of the 15 minute time limit wins the game. See below for Rally Point Scoring rules as they differ from traditional Pickleball scoring. Also with this being a fundraiser tournament, we added a fun Mulligan/Do-Over option that can be purchased per team (see below). Since we have 5 courts for 5 hours, this 15 minute time limit will ensure that we can complete this tournament in the required time frame. There will also be a 5 minute period between matches for teams to shake hands and the next teams to warm up. If the matches stay on schedule, the pool play portion will last from 9:20am to 11:20am (0920-1120). Tournament bracket play is schedule from 11:40am to 1:40pm (1140-1340). We have the facility rented through 2pm (1400). So this will give us a little extra time in case matches run long for whatever reason. It will also give us time to have the awards ceremony without interfering with the incoming pickleballers. Warmups and intros will be from 9-9:20am (0900-0920).

As with pool play, Rally Point Scoring mentioned above will be in affect. Mulligans/Do-Overs CANNOT be used for Matches 7, 8, 9, or 10 in either tournament bracket...the Final Four.
Prior to the Match, the higher seeded team will determine if they want to serve first or chose the side of the court they want to play on. The lower seeded team will have the option the other team doesn’t chose. Because time is of the essence, the teams will NOT switch sides during play.
Mulligan Option: Mulligan/Do-Overs will NOT be allowed in tournament play once we get to a final four in each tournament bracket; Matches 7, 8, 9 & 10. Mulligan/Do-overs are team specific and cannot be transferred or donated to another team. They can be purchased in the registration link above. One Mulligan/Do-Over for $20, or four for $50.
