Format and Rules

Each division will play a minimum of five games. Round-robin play will determine seeding for single-elimination playoffs. Divisions with 4–10 teams will advance the top four to playoffs; divisions with 10 or more teams will advance the top eight. The top four teams in each division will compete for medals.

Matches will be played to 11 points, win by two. The tournament will follow 2025 USA Pickleball Association rules, and players will be responsible for calling their own lines.

Divisions with fewer than four teams may be combined. The event is a fundraiser to benefit a firefighter who experienced a life-changing medical emergency while at work, and will not be DUPR-rated.
