Open play or recreational games are great but, if you're looking to test your skills in an organized tournament, we have a few options:
Mixed round-robin tournaments are great if you don't have a partner to play with but want tournament experience. In these events, you partner with a different player each round and play against all other players. These events are organized for 4, 5, 8, or 9 players and take about 2 hours to complete.
⭐ The Catawba Pickleball Club organize round-robins on a regular basis, so be sure to sign up for information on tournaments and competitive events on the Signup section of the Connect page.
