Thank you for your participation in what’s going to be a wonderful event. Please make sure you read the notes below as you register, and don’t forget to tell your friends and family to come join us at the event. Tickets for the tournament are on sale now via TheAPP.global. If you have questions about tickets, please email ticketing@theapp.global.

First up, and this is an important one – please make sure you pay in full when you register. We can’t make exceptions, so when you sign up, please ensure you’ve paid. Thank you.

Event fees

• Player Entry Fee is $115, granting the athlete a credential
• Amateur Division Fee - $40
• Pro Division Fee - $130
• AARP Champion Pro Division Fee - $125
• AARP Masters Pro Division Fee - $115

Next, this is a USA Pickleball-sanctioned tournament, so all players need to have a current USA Pickleball CHAMPION level membership that’s active through the end of the tournament to be able to register. Please include your membership number in your player profile.

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 you 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

Now, amateur players – this one’s for you! ​Playing in amateur events:

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

Skill Player Partner Replacement Policy. What do you do if your partner can’t 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 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, but 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 app.mesa@outlook.com
• Replacements can be found on the players needing partners list, which can be found on utrsports.net.

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 and the UTR software fees.
• The player entering the event would need to pay any tournament fees and the UTR software fee.
• If the registration deadline has passed, then the player's withdrawal would not be refunded the player's entry fee.
• All players must pay the player entry fee; the division fee would have to be reimbursed by the replacement player.
• 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 prior to the cancellation deadline. The APP’s advice is to purchase that insurance.

Registration and Weather Insurance Policy

• 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 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.

Code of Conduct

• All players will be held to the Player Code of Conduct. This ensures we have the APP tournament experience players know and love, so please adhere to this at all times.

Thank you for joining us for the 2025 APP Mesa Open. We can’t wait to see you on court!
