Cash Smash — Leg 2 of the RGV Money Series

Sep 26 – Sep 27, 2026

Two days, cash on the line in every bracket. Saturday is men's and women's doubles, Sunday is mixed. This event is Leg 2 of the RGV Money Series. Players who competed in the August 29, 2026 RGV Pickle Moneyball earn a 2x points multiplier for the Money Series standings at this event. The multiplier applies per player, not per team — if only one partner on a team played in the August Moneyball, only that player receives the 2x multiplier.

Cash Smash is Leg 2 of the RGV Money Series.

Saturday, September 26 — Men's Doubles and Women's Doubles. Sunday, September 27 — Mixed Doubles.

Brackets in every division: 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0. Each division is a separate registration, so play one day or both.

TOURNAMENT DAY SPECIAL — SATURDAY, AUGUST 29 ONLY: Use code DESK5 today and take $5 off per player — $10 off any team entry. Today only, Cash Smash is $40 per team. The code expires tonight at 11:59 PM and will not come back. It works on Trick or Dink in October too, so use it on both.

WHAT THE WINNERS GET

GOLD — The entire bracket purse, in cash — paid the day you win. SILVER — $40 pro shop credit — no cash value. BRONZE — $15 club credit — no cash value.

Medals in every bracket on top of that. Gold is not a share of the purse — gold is the purse. Win your bracket and you take every dollar of it. Gold is the only cash prize at this event.

Silver — $40 pro shop credit. Works like a $40 gift card in the RGV Pickle pro shop: paddles, balls, grips, bags, apparel, accessories. No cash value.

Bronze — $15 club credit. Use it on open play, court reservations, and club theme events. Not valid for tournament entries and not valid for clinics or lessons. No cash value.

Both credits are valid 12 months from the date of issue, are non-transferable, cannot be combined with other promotions, and cannot be exchanged for cash. Neither is affected by the Money Series multiplier — the multiplier applies to gold cash only.

HOW THE PURSE IS BUILT

Half of every entry fee is prize money. Here is exactly where your $50 goes: 40% into your bracket's purse, paid in full in cash to that bracket's gold medalists. 10% into the RGV Money Series Purse, which pays multiplier bonuses. The other 50% covers courts, staff, referees, balls, medals, and the ball you take home.

Every bracket that runs pays gold a minimum of $100, and the purse grows with every team that enters. At the $50 early-bird rate: 4 teams = $200 collected, $100 gold cash (minimum applies). 6 teams = $300 collected, $120 gold cash. 8 teams = $400 collected, $160 gold cash. 12 teams = $600 collected, $240 gold cash. 16 teams = $800 collected, $320 gold cash.

Your bracket's exact number is calculated from what your bracket actually collected and posted the day registration closes — before a single ball is served. Want to win more money? Get your friends to play. Every team that enters your bracket makes your bracket's purse bigger, and every entry anywhere in the series grows the Money Series Purse that pays your bonus.

THE MONEY SERIES 2× MULTIPLIER

If you entered Moneyball on August 29, your gold cash payout at Cash Smash is doubled. You did not have to medal in August — entering was enough. Your multiplier belongs to you, not your team: if you earned it and your partner did not, you collect the bonus and your partner collects the base off the same medal.

The doubled portion is paid as a bonus from the RGV Money Series Purse; if bonus claims exceed the purse, every bonus is reduced by the same percentage so the purse always pays out in full.

THE MONEY SERIES PURSE

This is a separate pot of money sitting on top of every bracket purse. 10% of every entry fee at every Money Series event goes into it — including entries in brackets you are not playing in — and it pays every multiplier bonus of the season. It is posted at the front desk. Whatever is left after the December finale goes to the Series Champion prize and into January's purse.

Enter Cash Smash and you are enrolled in Leg 2, which means a bigger multiplier at the December finale — up to 3× for players who enter all three legs.

Registration ends Sep 24, 2026

Entry, ratings, and divisions: A DUPR account is required to enter. All matches are reported to DUPR. Players must register in the division allowed by their current DUPR rating and may play up, but never down. Each division has a rating ceiling 0.49 above the division number, and both partners must be at or below it: 3.0 division — 3.49 max; 3.5 — 3.99 max; 4.0 — 4.49 max; 4.5 — 4.99 max; 5.0 — 5.49 max. There is no minimum rating for any division.

After registration closes, all entrants' current DUPR ratings are reviewed. Any player whose rating exceeds their registered division will be moved to the correct division; RGV Pickle coaches may also move a player up based on observed level of play. Division changes upward are final and not refundable, and are made before brackets are published. To request a lower division, email us before registration closes — both partners must agree, and requests are granted only where DUPR reliability is below 50% or a documented injury or layoff applies. One DUPR account per player; players found with more than one account may be withdrawn without refund.

Bracket minimums: Each bracket requires a minimum of 4 teams. If a bracket is short, it will be merged with the next skill level up. If no merge is possible, the bracket will be cancelled and you will receive a full refund of your entry fee (less the payment processing fee) or a full-value credit toward the next tournament, your choice. If brackets are merged, medals are awarded based on the bracket you originally registered in.

Match guarantee: Every team is guaranteed a minimum of 3 matches.

Start times and refund guarantee: Start times are published 7 days before the event (Saturday, September 19) and sent by text and email. If your assigned start time does not work for you, request a full refund and you will receive one — no questions asked. Requests must be received within 48 hours of start times being published (by Monday, September 21). After that 48-hour window closes, entry fees are non-refundable.

Pricing: Doubles entry is priced per team, not per player. Every skill bracket within a division is the same price. Early bird pricing ends September 11 at 11:59 PM. Second-chance pricing ends September 18 at 11:59 PM. Prices increase at each deadline and are never reduced afterward.

Prize money and awards: Half of every entry fee collected is prize money. 40% of each bracket's collected entry fees is that bracket's purse and is paid in full, in cash, to that bracket's gold medalists, with a minimum of $100 in any bracket that runs. In doubles the gold purse is divided equally between the two partners.

Silver receives a $40 RGV Pickle pro shop credit per person (merchandise only, functions as a $40 gift card, no cash value). Bronze receives a $15 RGV Pickle club credit per person (open play, court reservations and club theme events only — not valid for tournament entries, clinics, or lessons). Both credits must be redeemed in person at RGV Pickle's physical location, valid 12 months from issue, non-transferable, cannot be combined with other promotions, have no cash value, and are not affected by Money Series multipliers. The remaining 10% of every entry fee is paid into the RGV Money Series Purse, from which multiplier bonuses are paid. Final bracket purses are published when registration closes. Money Series multiplier bonuses apply to gold cash payouts only and are reduced pro rata if total claims exceed the purse balance.
