The Big Easy Pickleball Tournament
Dear Participants,
The Big Easy is less than 2 weeks away and we are working
overtime to ensure that your tournament runs smoothly, offers
competitive matches, and most importantly, is fun!
Reminders and Updates:
- Please let us know if anything has changed with your
registration -- especially if you or your partner will not
be able to play.
- If you are still “in need of a partner,” please let us
know immediately so that we may follow up with you.
- All registration fees must be paid before Friday, August 12.
Reminder emails will be sent to those who have not paid.
These reminders will be sent from PayPal, so please check
your email, including your spam and junk.
- All doubles and mixed doubles play will be divided into
morning (8 am) and afternoon (1 pm) sessions due to the large
number of teams registered. We will post a list of teams by
morning or afternoon sessions on Tuesday, August 9 on
www.bigeasypb.com. The full draw will be posted
on Friday night.
- All divisions will be a round-robin format with an average
of 5 teams per group. Each match will consist of one (1) game
to 15, win by 1. All teams will play all other teams within their
specific group. The winner of each group will be
determined by the total number of games won. If two
or more teams are tied, then the winner of their head-to-head
game will take 1st place. If an additional tiebreaker is needed,
the winner will be determined by the point differential of
all games played.
- No refunds after August 5, 2022 – no exceptions
