Sanctioned, Approved and Ratings

Select this option to request sanctioning, specify the priority for rating choices and to limit registrations to club members only.

Each Sanctioning Organization has it’s own requirements and application process. Select the organization and Save the page. Once the page is saved, click on the Pending button to request sanctioned. Once the organization approved your application, the pending designation will change to Approved.

*Some organizations will automatically attach the appropriate pending or approved logo to your tournament listing.

You may also select the priority order you wish to use to check player ratings. If none of the selected options produce a rating, then the self rating will be used. If the primary selection is the PickleballBrackets.com tournament rating, an additional option will show allowing you to choose if you’d like to use the Senior Rating for players 50 and over instead of the overall rating.

The Senior Rating will only be used for bracket placement if the following criteria are met:

1. The player is 50 years of age or over
2. The bracket they are playing in is designated as Senior Amateur or Senior Pro.
   

!For USA Pickleball Sanctioned tournaments, the UTPR is automatically selected as the first rating option.
