Registration Policies

​What does it mean to be confirmed as registered?

• For players in a singles amateur division, it means you have registered and paid the tournament fees
• For players in a doubles amateur event, it means both players have registered and both players have paid the tournament fees and are paired up. Players can add their partners through the website.

Please note that you or your team could be moved to the tournament waitlist if your partner (for doubles competition) has not registered and paid. The contract to play is between players and it is their responsibility to comply with the tournament requirements to participate as stated above – this is a player’s responsibility

Playing in amateur events

• Players may only play in one division per day.
• Brackets will be filled on a first-come basis.
• As the waitlist grows, the APP will manage bracket sizes to accommodate demand. This means that bracket maximums may be adjusted from registration opening to the day of play.

Partner Replacement Policy

Skill Player Partner Replacement Policy

What do you do if your partner cannot now play?

• Any registered player who loses a partner, after registrations have closed, must replace that partner with an already registered player. This responsibility rests with the players.
• The replacement player has to be in the same skill/age group that you are scheduled to play in. Players can play down in age and up in skill, replacements need to be known and communicated to the registration coordinator via email by 4pm the day before you are scheduled to play. That email is playerregistration@theapp.global.
• Replacements can be found on the players needing partners list, which can be found on https://app.pickleballden.com/external-tournament/5364312

Payment of Skill Partner Replacement Players

• If the cancellation deadline hasn’t passed, the player withdrawing from the event would be refunded, less $25 withdrawal fee.
• The player entering the event would need to pay any tournament fees.
• If the registration deadline has passed, then the player withdrawing would not be refunded the player entry fee.
• All players must pay the player entry fee; the division fee would have to be reimbursed by the replacement player.

Withdrawal, Refund and Weather Policy

Please note that no refunds or credits for any reason will be issued for any reason after the cancellation deadline, as stated above, unless the Registration & Weather Insurance Policy has been purchased. The APP’s advice is to purchase this insurance.

If you withdraw before the cancellation deadline, you will be issued a full refund, less the cancellation fee, without the need to purchase Registration Insurance.

During registration, you may choose to purchase the Registration & Weather Insurance in the event that you have to withdraw from a division or the entire tournament after the cancellation deadline, as stated above. Please see the policy for specific coverage details.
