If you have any questions along the way please email us at PEM-Tournament@hotmail.com.
BEFORE YOU REGISTER
Make sure your USA Pickleball Membership is up to date. If it expires before the end of the tournament, you need to renew it now, before you register. Renew on-line to avoid registration delays which could jeopardize your ability to get into an event. Link: https://usapickleball.org/memberships/
Review and update your Pickleballtournaments.com (PT) “Player profile” account.
Make sure the name on your Pickleballtournaments.com and USA Pickleball accounts are exactly the same so your USA Pickleball membership will match up in the registration system.
Verify that your email is correct. We will use this to communicate with you.
Make sure your cell phone number is in the “Text Phone” field, even if it’s already listed as your main number. We will use the texting feature during our tournament.
Select “Pueblo El Mirage…” as your club from the drop-down box to receive your club discount.
Make sure your rating is accurate if you don’t have a USA Pickleball UTPR. If you accidently register at a skill level higher than you want to play, we cannot move you down.
If this is your first time playing in a tournament make sure you get your USA Pickleball membership by going to https://usapickleball.org/memberships/ AND create your player profile account by going to https://www.pickleballtournaments.com/createaccount.pl. DO THIS BEFORE REGISTRATION OPENS.
If your UTPRs are lower than your club rating, it is up to you to decide at what skill level to play in as outlined in the “PEM Skill Rating Procedures” available on the PEM Pickleball website at https://www.pempickleball.com/skill-rating-procedure.html.
If you would like to play at a higher skill level than your club rating or USA Pickleball UTPR you need to override your skill for the event(s) when you register.
REGISTRATION
Registration opens Monday, November 15 starting at 4:00 PM with the 5.0s and concluding at 8:00 PM with the 3.0s.
Registrations are staggered. Check the tournament listing for your registration time(s) - https://www.pickleballtournaments.com/tournamentinfo.pl?tid=4266#menuInformation.
You may have multiple registration times if your gender doubles and mixed doubles UTPRs are different. That means you will need to reopen your registration to add your second event.
If you do not have a USA Pickleball rating (UTPR) your registration time is based on the rating indicated in your Pickleballtournaments.com player profile.
Payment is through PayPal. You can use your PayPal account or credit card (via PayPal).
MOVING PLAYERS FROM WAIT LISTS
For this next tournament we are ending our days much earlier than in the past for the benefit of players, referees and volunteers.
To make sure we don’t overbook from the onset we are setting event limits for men’s doubles and women’s doubles to six (6) teams for each skill/age group. Event limits for mixed doubles are set higher as these events are split over two days. This is just a starting point for registration and we anticipate we will move teams from wait lists into events right after registration opens and over the next couple months.
Important! Players with partners who are both paid will have first priority to move from wait lists into events. Players without partners and/or not paid will be moved to the wait list IF their event is full and people are waiting to get in.
REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION
We will send you a registration confirmation once your registration is completed and fee is paid. This may take a couple days to process. If you do not receive a registration confirmation email within a reasonable period of time, please check your “Trash” or “Spam” folder. As changes are made to your registration you will receive updated email confirmations.
REGISTRATION PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS
If you have any problems during registration, like connecting up with your partner, please email us at PEM-Tournament@hotmail.com. We will be monitoring this email account when registration opens and frequently after that.
PLAYER CHANGE OUTS
If you need to change out your partner it shouldn’t be a problem if the replacement player is in the same skill and age group. If you replace your partner with someone from a different skill level and/or age group, you may or may not be able to move to the desired bracket, depending
if that event is full. It is recommended that you leave your original partner in place until you have a replacement, otherwise you may lose your spot. If you need assistance, or the change is after registration closes, please contact us at
PEM-Tournament@hotmail.com.
WITHDRAWALS/REFUNDS
You can withdraw from the tournament up to the registration deadline of January 23, 2022. You will receive a full refund, minus $10. There are no refunds after the registration deadline, but you can transfer your registration fee to a replacement player. Any questions or extenuating circumstances, please email us.
