Tournament FAQs

Queens of the Court is the original all-women's MLP-style pickleball tournament. Our goal is to celebrate the community, strengths, and skill of women in pickleball, starting on International Women's Day!

A match is played between 2 teams and consists of four doubles games - 2 rounds of 2 games. Any player combinations are allowed subject to the DUPR aggregate rules.

Team A vs Team B Example:

Round 1

  • • Game 1: A1 & A2 vs B1 & B2
  • • Game 2: A3 & A4 vs B3 & B4

Round 2

  • • Game 1: A1 & A3 vs B1 & B3
  • • Game 2: A2 & A4 vs B2 & B4

If tied 2-2, move on to Reignmaker singles tiebreaker.

Reignmaker is our signature tiebreaker. If a match is tied 2-2, teams will play a 3rd Singles Match. Individual team members rotate every 2 points using rally scoring to 11. Win by one, no freeze. It's fast, strategic, and high-stakes - incredibly exciting!

Traditionally, MLP-style format is four players per team. However, in Queens of the Court, you can have up to six players on the roster. Only four players play in each match, and for each match, the DUPR aggregate must be below the required number.

We allow up to 6 players per team for a couple of reasons. First, any player experienced in MLP-style team tournaments will tell you: it's a LOT of pickleball. More players allow rest, and you WILL need it. Trust us. Second, more players means more fun!

The total DUPR of a team's chosen 4 players in any match may not exceed the following:

DUPR 12: Aggregate 12.3
DUPR 14: Aggregate 14.3
DUPR 16: Aggregate 16.3
Open: Max aggregate 22.3

If any player is not rated, they will be assigned a score (not a DUPR rating) for purposes of the tournament only. For example, unrated DUPR 12 players are assigned 3.0.

No. In the spirit of community, not reporting game scores to DUPR allows players to play with any partner without fear of negatively affecting your DUPR rating.
