THANK YOU for playing in our LLP PickleFall tournament. Please read this email thoroughly. We will do everthing in our control to make the best tournament experience for you.  

All draws are posted for the tournament. Please check your draw/ bracke time and arrive only 30 minutes before the bracket start time, even if you have a Bye in the first round. We may NOT Have any practice courts until half an hour before the draw start time. Please note that only Round Robin draws are posted. We will have Playoffs (and consolation matches if we will have) matches immediately after the Round Robin. Please do NOT go home just because you lost a couple of games in the Round Robin. 

Last minute dropout? I know things happen last minute. If you or your partner may not be able to make it, please text or call me immediately and I'll update the brackets or replace the player for a $10 fee. 

Volunteers: We are looking for anyone (preferably not playing at that time) to be our volunteers to help with scoresheets, sales of Hats and T-shirts etc. If you volunteer for more than 4 hours, you will get a free lunch/ dinner, Free entree to our next tournament, along with a free LLP T-Shirt, Hat/ Visor.   

Rainout: If it rains, we will try to complete at least the Round Robin and may not have playoff. If we have to cancel the whole event without playing, you will get $15 coupon for the next tournament. I hope we don't have to use that. If there is any delays, please check the Tourney Talk on the tournament page or Tournament Messages on the Mobile App. We may NOT send email and the best place is to check the Tourney Talk. If you have a mobile app, you will get notifications when I post a message on Tourney Talk. If there is no delay, no messages will be posted. 

Blower/ Squeezies: I will bring a leaf blower and many towels to dry courts. Please bring a leaf blower if you can spare one. Players are expected to help dry the courts. If you get to help, you are a star volunteer and you will get a free LLP Wristband for your helping hand. 

Rules for all LLP tournaments:
