Running pickleball tournaments just got more cost effective through the continued partnership between PickleballTournaments.com and USA Pickleball

SEATTLE, July 15, 2021  — PickleballTournaments.com and USA Pickleball have agreed to an extension of their partnership through 2023 in support of growing the game of Pickleball. In support of this continued partnership, PickleballTournaments.com will be:

• Paying the USA Pickleball sanctioning fee for sanctioned tournaments running on PickleballTournaments.com
• Reducing the PickleballTournaments.com per player software access fee by 50% for sanctioned tournaments
• Continuing in its role as USA Pickleball’s Official Tournament Ratings Provider supporting UTPR for sanctioned tournaments

Combined with other benefits provided by USA Pickleball, this creates a powerful incentive for tournament operators to sanction their tournament and provide the best experience possible to the pickleball tournament player.

“We are excited to continue our long-term partnership with USA Pickleball,” said Melissa McCurley, President of PickleballTournaments.com. “Our partnership has always been focused on growing the game in general and creating an excellent tournament experience for pickleball players. By lowering costs for tournament operators to sanction their event with USA Pickleball, we are continuing that commitment in a real tangible way.”
