FAQ

This event is being hosted by Becki Wheeler, a mom who has walked the road of the Amdal family.  Her 14-year-old daughter Emma was diagnosed with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis in September 2017... 55 days later, Becki climbed into Emma's hospital bed, held onto her for one more time and sang to Emmy as she left this earth and moved to Heaven.  Emmy fought hard, she gave it everything she had, but to no avail.  Becki continues to help to raise awareness of HLH and to empower people to live their best lives and one avenue of this is through pickleball... the sport that taught Becki how to live again.

Due to the nature of this event, no refunds will be issued.  If you are unable to attend it is suggested that you find a replacement at a similar skill set, so the TD can keep courts even and play going efficiently. 

For now we are not allowing teams to register up.  As we get closer to the close of registration if it makes sense to offer teams the opportunity to play up we will then make a decision.  For now you must play your combined DUPR ratings.

You can substitute a player up to 24 hours in advance of September 17 by contacting Becki Wheeler.  Becki's email is beckiwheeler@me.com.

The player would need to be of similar skill set and must have a DUPR rating that keeps your team in the confirmed DUPR category.

At the time of registration you can put your team in the lineup according to left side, right side and the dreambreaker.  Once your team has been confirmed any lineup changes need be done by emailing Becki Wheeler.  The email is beckiwheeler@me.com

This is not a sanctioned event and scores will not be reported to any reporting agency.

UPDATE: 8.18.23 We will be reporting scores to DUPR

Both. When registering you can select individual events in the Ala cart menu or buy a Saturday day pass which includes: drills/skills, play w/ and against the pro's along with the Cocktail party at a discount.  Sunday is one event. It is a team registration where the captain will register the team.  Once the team is registered the DUPR's will be reviewed and confirmed.  If a provisional rating is in DUPR there will be 2 factors of verifying: How long has it been since the player played in tournaments and what is their USAPA rating.

Saturday is one registration.  You can register for 1 or 2 events or do a full day pass for all 3 events.  

Sunday is a team event.  The captain registers the entire team, pays the registration fee and the players playing pay their captain.

No, you can do one day or the other or choose to do both.  For Saturday's Drills & Skills the pros will be focusing on partnership strategies on the court.  Although both days are not required Saturday will better help prepare for not just Sundays team play, but for the upcoming tournament season.
