Get ready to celebrate America’s birthday with two action-packed days of pickleball fun! The Stars & Stripes Showdown Tournament is your perfect way to kick off the holiday weekend. Whether you’re pairing up with your favorite partner or jumping into the mix with new faces, there’s a division and format for everyone to enjoy. With friendly competition, great prizes, and plenty of red, white, and blue spirit, this is a Fourth of July celebration you won’t want to miss.

THIS TOURNAMENT WILL NOT BE ENTERED INTO DUPR

July 3: Partner Up for the Stars & Stripes Showdown

Kick off the festivities on July 3rd with the Stars & Stripes Showdown, a partner-based competition where teamwork takes center stage. Pick your partner—male or female, it’s all fair game—and enter one of our well-balanced divisions based on combined skill level.

Teams are formed using Combined DUPR ratings.

Your bracket is based on the total of both partners’ DUPR ratings. For example, if you are a 3.3 and your partner is a 3.1, your combined rating is 6.4, so you would register for the 6.0–6.99 bracket.

You’ll compete against other duos in exciting round-robin matches, followed by a playoff round to determine the top teams. Each game will be played to 11 points, win by 2, ensuring fast-paced matches packed with energy and excitement.

The event starts at 8:00 am for the 5.0 and 6.0 Divisions, 11am for the 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0+ Divisions. Play is expected to wrap up around after around 3 hours., leaving plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your day. Divisions will be:

• Combined DUPR Ratings 5.0-5.99 (8am, average 2.5-2.99)
• Combined DUPR Ratings 6.0-6.99 (8am, average 3.0-3.49)
• Combined DUPR Ratings 7.0-7.99 (11am, average 3.5-3.99)
• Combined DUPR Ratings8.0-8.99 (11am, average 4.0-4.49)
• Combined DUPR Ratings9.0+ (11am, average 4.5+)

Everyone from newer players to seasoned competitors are welcome. If your bracket brings in 10 or more teams, we’ll even split by combined age to ensure balanced play for all. And don’t worry if you don’t have a partner—our team will gladly help you find one!

To sign up, you’ll need to provide your DUPR ID and rating. Early birds can secure their spot for just $25 per player before June 12, with standard ($30) and late pricing ($40) available up to July 2. It’s a great chance to play hard, make memories, and enjoy some pre-holiday competition with your pickleball pals.

July 4: Mix It Up with Rotating Partners and Holiday Fun

On July 4th, keep the energy rolling with our Stars & Stripes Rotating Partner Challenge! This second-day event is all about mixing things up—literally. Sign up as an INDIVIDUAL and rotate partners throughout the morning, giving everyone a chance to compete side-by-side with a variety of players. It’s a fun, social way to celebrate the holiday while sharpening your game against a field full of pickleball friends both new and familiar.

The format mirrors the July 3rd event, featuring games played to 11 points, win by 2. Divisions are divided by individual skill level rather than combined ratings, ranging from 2.0–2.59 up to 4.0+, so there’s a place for every player no matter your experience. The event kicks off at 9:00 a.m. and should wrap up around 12–1 p.m., just in time to enjoy your Fourth of July festivities afterward.

Registration is simple and affordable: grab your spot early for $25 per player before June 12. Regular pricing, $30 per player, continues through June 26, with late registration, $40 perplayer open until July 2. Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned competitor, this laid-back tournament promises camaraderie, competition, and a perfect way to ring in Independence Day with style.

Two days, countless rallies, and endless smiles—this holiday weekend is set to be one to remember both on and off the court. The Stars, Stripes, & Dinks Tournament brings players together for friendly competition and patriotic fun in a welcoming community atmosphere. So grab your paddle, sign up soon, and get ready to celebrate freedom, friendship, and the love of pickleball under the summer sun.
