Grab your coworkers, teammates, or fellow SMPS members and compete for the ultimate bragging rights and the return of the legendary trophy (yes, it’s back and ready for a new champion!). Whether you're a pickleball pro or picking up a paddle for the first time, this event is all about fun, friendly competition, and building connections.
Event Highlights:
- Venue: Experience the energy of Chicken N Pickle, with great food, drinks, and a perfect setup for both players and spectators.
- Tournament Format: Double elimination. Each match is best two out of three, played to 11 points (win by 2). Teams rotate sides each game.

- Spectator-Friendly: Grab a seat right behind the courts for a great view and a chill place to hang out.
- Two drink tickets (soda, beer, wine, or cocktails) and appetizers are included with your registration.
Whether you’re in it to win or just here for the snacks and laughs, this is one summer tradition you don’t want to miss. Spots are limited, so sign up soon and let the games begin!
