Compete at Worlds.
You don't have to be a pro to play on the world stage. Amateur brackets run alongside the pros at Brookhaven Country Club, November 2–8, 2026.
Register in four steps.
Registration is open now and closes October 26, 2026 at 5:00 PM CST. The whole process runs on pickleballtournaments.com.
Pick your events
Choose from the amateur skill and age brackets, Senior Open, Junior, the Champions Division, or the Money Ball. Entry is $115 per player.
Check your rating
Bracket eligibility uses your current DUPR rating at the time you register. If you have no DUPR rating, a self-rating is used instead.
Enter with a partner
Doubles entries name a partner at registration, and they have 36 hours to register before the team moves to the waitlist. Playing solo? Use the Find a Partner tool.
Pay & confirm
Pay your entry fee to confirm your spot. Withdraw before October 5, 2026 for a refund minus a $25 fee.
Find your division.
