* Power Pool Format
For the Men's Open event, the top 6 teams by DUPR will be grouped into a "Power Pool" to play against each other in the round robin. Those 6 teams will automatically make it into the playoffs, with the top 4 teams after the round robin getting a first round bye.
The 3 other pools of 6 will have the top 2 teams make it into the playoffs.
This is to create the most competitive pool play matches, and to allow the strongest teams a rare opportunity to play each other.
The top 6 teams will be locked in a week before the event, so by 8 AM on April 26th. This allows teams to have from now until then the opportunity to fight for one of those top 6 spots. Any DUPR manipulation is strictly prohibited, and if caught, you may forfeit your spot in the event without refund.
All events are subject to modifications and changes at any time.
If you would like to play in a bracket that does not match your current DUPR rating, please email tournaments@nycpickleball.com to discuss.
PAYMENT/PARTNER POLICY
Players must register and pay upon registration. Players without registered and paid partners by April 12th will be moved to a wait list if the division in which a spot is being held can be filled with fully registered and paid teams.
PARTNER REPLACEMENT POLICY
If you need to replace a partner after registration closes, please contact tournaments@nycpickleball.com no later than 6pm the day before the event to ensure your team information is updated in our system. Any replacement partner must be in the same skill/age group that you are scheduled to play.
EQUIPMENT POLICY:
The following paddles will be allowed:
Paddles on the UPA approved list https://upaa.unitedpickleball.com/approved-paddles/
AND
Paddles on the USAP approved list https://equipment.usapickleball.org/paddle-list/ WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTIONS:

Gearbox: Pro Power Elongated
ProKennex: Black Ace Ovation

We know these are meant to be sunset in July, but given the frequency with which some of these paddles break in and have excess amounts of power, we feel it is appropriate to be proactive and remove them from play.
If a player believes an opponent's paddle is severely core crushed (crunchy sound when pressing into paddle face), they have a right to ask the player to switch to a non-core crushed paddle or ask the Tournament Director (TD) to enforce a change. If a player refuses to change to a non-core crushed paddle, then they may risk forfeiting the rest of the event. Please be responsible and check your paddles before competing. The TD will use their discretion on the severity of the core crushing and whether a paddle needs to be removed from play.
CANCELLATION DEADLINE: April 23, 2024
Withdrawals initiated for any reason by the player on or before Wednesday April 23, 2025, will be processed for a full refund minus a $25 cancellation fee.
For players who are moved onto a waitlist or unable to participate after payment due to partner withdrawal / non-registration: Full refunds (minus the $5 Fluid admin fee) will be processed within 7-10 days after the tournament.
