Project Purple is excited to be back at Pickle Spot in Orange, CT to host our 4th Annual Charity Pickleball Classic for Pancreatic Cancer. The tournament will feature doubles play with two different divisions: Social and Competitive. Each division will be limited to 16 teams. Following the tournament, we will have open play.
Teams will begin with pool play, with the top two teams from each pool advancing to a single-elimination championship bracket. Each division will have two hours of play, with the first hour dedicated to pool play and the second hour reserved for the championship rounds.
Pool play matches will be played to 11 points or until the 10-minute time limit expires, with the team holding the higher score declared the winner if 11 points have not been reached. Championship bracket matches will be played to 11 points, win by two.
