Hosting A Private Tournament

Pickleball tournaments are a rewarding way to build team chemistry, let people rediscover their competitive side, and have fun on the court. At The Pickle Lodge we love facilitating tournaments of all sizes and formats. Tell us about your group and we will help you find what fits best.

What To Expect: We are pickleball experts. We provide the courts, paddles, software, and tournament organization, so you can focus on getting your group together and excited for what is ahead.

Give companies, clubs, and groups a tournament that is organized and run for them.

Companies, clubs, schools, families, and friend groups who want to play in a tournament of their own.

Tournament Formats: These are the most popular formats for groups of all sizes.

• Timed Ladder: The strongest players start at the top of the ladder and newer players start at the bottom. Play is in timed rotations rather than to a set point total, so everyone starts and ends at the same time. When you win, you move up the ladder and face better competition.
• Fixed Partner Or Blind Date Round Robin: Participants are split into pools and every team plays every other team in its pool. The top teams from each pool then cross over to play each other, which produces Gold, Silver, and Bronze finishers, often with different prizes for all three spots on the podium. In Fixed Partner, players register together. In Blind Date, players are matched on the spot. Teams are seeded into pools by experience level.
• Parent/Child: A coed tournament that pairs parents and kids of all ages in either a round robin or ladder structure. Teams are seeded into pools by experience level.
