The USA Pickleball Diamond Amateur Championship will be held Dec. 3-10, 2023 and hosted by Pictona at Holly Hill in Florida—one of the nation’s finest facilities, featuring 49 courts.

Diamond Amateur Championship gold medalists will earn Golden Tickets—the ability to pre-register—for the 2024 USA Pickleball National Championships.

Format:

All events, including singles, will offer a pool-play format. If there are not enough teams for pool play, then a round-robin bracket will be played.

The top-four teams (from each pool or round-robin bracket) will move forward to the next round.

All pool-play matches, as well as all pre-medal matches, will be one game to 15, win by two points. The medal matches will be best two-out-of-three games, win by two points.

The gold-medal winners of each event will earn a Golden Ticket to the 2024 USA Pickleball National Championships.

This is a MMP format with our goal to have referees for all matches.

For a CONFIRMED spot in an event, both partners must be registered and paid. Players without partners or whose partners have not registered and paid within 1 day of their signup, will be moved to the waiting list. Once their partner signs up, they will be moved back into the event – IF THERE ARE SPOTS REMAINING IN THE BRACKET AND THE TOURNAMENT.
