The World Pickleball Tour is coming back to the Dallas area in 2024!

From October 25-27, 2023, we'll be hosting another tournament at the beautiful, 42, Oasis Pickleball Club in Rockwall, Texas!

ABOUT THE WPT
The World Pickleball Tour is a strictly amateur tournament series that hosted 25 events in 2023 and is hosting nearly 30 in 2024.

All of our tournament stops are considered "challenger" events, as all Gold Medalists from our circuit are invited to the 2025 WPT Amateur Invitational Championships, which will pit the best amateur players in the country against each other as they compete for their share of the $175,000 CASH PURSE at the event!

We exist to grow the game at the grassroots level, and aim to provide high-quality, valuable, and memorable competitive experiences for you all, the amateur players. We look forward to seeing you at this event!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Skill/Age Brackets: 3.0-5.0; 19+, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+ (70+ after registration close, if applicable). 18 and under can register for 19+.

Registration Perks: All players receive a WPT player swag bag: a reusable, branded tote that contains elevated giveaway items, hydration and nutrition essentials, court fashion accessories, other player necessities, and a World Tour DRIFIT t-shirt!

Format: This will be an unsanctioned, Round Robin-style event with 8 guaranteed matches (games to 11, win by 2).

Multiple Events/Same Day: Once registration closes and the schedule is created, players will have the opportunity to add another skill/age event to the same day of competition as long as the start times don't conflict. Unsure of what level to play or wishing to test out your skills at the next level up, now you can play two events in a single day!

Winners: All gold medalists earn an invitation to the 2025 championship event with a $175k cash purse. Silver and bronze medalists will also earn a spot on the waitlist for the 2024 championship event as well as any participate of a WPT event (in that order).

Giveaways: The WPT will be providing sponsored giveaways that are raffled off at the event - from luxury bags to paddles and more!
