1010 Wins Pickleball Tournament Spring 2026
1010 WINS is thrilled to invite you to our Spring 2026 pickleball tournament, hosted in partnership with NYC Pickleball at SPORTIME Wayne, NJ, a brand new, beautiful facility with 18 dedicated, individually fenced pickleball courts.
Over 400 players and spectators from the tri-state area and beyond showed up for an incredible day of pickleball at our October tournament. Compete with the best at your level in Women's Doubles, Men's Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.
All play will take place in a premium climate-controlled facility on dedicated pickleball courts with Life Time LT 40 Balls. Medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams in all divisions, with additional prizes for medalists in the highest level "$1010 Prize Money" events.
Since we have moved to a new venue, we've added a fun twist to this year's tournament. Players will select to represent either New Jersey or New York. Medalists for each event will score points for their respective state, 1 point for Bronze, 3 points for Silver, and 5 points for Gold. At the end of the event, the state with the most number of points will have all their point scoring players entered into a raffle to win a slew of prizes, as well as bragging rights for their state for the rest of the year.
