Verify Seedings

The next step in the verification process is to confirm seedings. PickleballBrackets.com automatically creates seeding based on the combined team or, for singles and skinny singles, the individual player rating. When setting up the event, Tournament Directors choose the priority of which rating to use.. Players have doubles, mixed doubles, singles and skinny singles ratings. Seedings are based on the rating that corresponds with the event.

1. The PickleballBrackets.com rating – This is a calculated rating derived from the results of all tournament matches listed on PickleballBrackets.com that a player has participated in.
2. World Pickleball rating – This is a calculated rating based on tournaments listed on PickleballTournaments.com
3. Self-Rating – All seedings will be based on the player’s self rating. Tournament ratings are ignored.

*If the tournament is sanctioned by any organization, the rating priority will always use that sanctioning body’s rating as the primary rating on the priority list. For example, USA Pickleball sanctioned events will use the UTPR before looking at a self rating.

!Tournament Directors have complete control over changes to event seedings.
