Tournament Format:
- USA Pickleball Rules apply
- The 12 Men’s and Women’s teams will be divided into two six team divisions and will play round robin matches within their skill level pools.
- Each team will play five matches comprised of two games to 11 points, win by one as long as there are six teams in the division.
- Saturday and Sunday start times and court assignments will be preassigned once registration closes and will be posted to the NMB website no later than August 18, 2021.
- Match starting times are estimates and actual start times may vary. Court assignments do not change.
- Winning teams in each division will be the team with the most wins. Tie breakers will be first, head to head play, then least points given up, and finally a coin flip.
- Tournament format is very popular because it provides significantly more play than a double elimination tournament.
