The YMCA of the Northwoods and Rhinelander Pickleball are hosting a pickleball tournament on Saturday, Sept. 16 and Sunday, Sept. 17 at Pioneer Park in Rhinelander.

“Participants register with a partner and play a round robin format based on their USAPA ratings with possible mini playoff of top teams,” organizers said in a press release. “There are four divisions. Men’s and Women’s on Saturday and Mixed and 65+ on Sunday. Brackets will be determined following the registration deadline and based on the total of the partners’ ratings. Please rate yourself fairly. Teams will be given a starting time based on the number of teams entered. Teams are guaranteed 5 games and USAPA rules will apply throughout the tournament.”

Registration is open to the first 36 teams and must be completed by Wednesday, Sept. 6.  

“Last year’s tournament was both fun and challenging,” said Marilyn Duschl, tournament director. “We look forward to another great event.” 

Food will be available for purchase. Spectators are welcome to sit and enjoy the competition from all over the state. 

The fee per player is $35 and $10 for entering an additional bracket. Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams in each bracket and participants will receive a custom Clash of the Paddles T-shirt.  

In case of rain, play will be held at the Hodag Dome or YMCA. Proceeds from this tournament support the Y Annual Support Campaign which provides assistance for youth, adults and families to attend YMCA programs and activities and Rhinelander Pickleball.

Online registration will be taken until Wednesday, September 6. To view online registration, visit  www.ymcaofthenorthwoods.org and click on the Clash of the Paddles Event or call 715-362-9622.
