How the Tournament Works

Every team is guaranteed at least three games — nobody goes home after one loss

First you play everyone in your pool — short games to 11, win by 2. Then your pool record seeds you (that just means ranks you, so the bracket stays fair) into a single-elimination bracket. Lose once in the bracket and you're out.

Every Entry Fee Backs Our Chapter

Play a tournament, fund future healthcare pros

We're a student-run HOSA chapter — future nurses, EMTs, therapists and doctors. Entry fees cover competition registration and travel, training materials, and the community health projects we run locally all year. This is the first tournament we've ever put on: help us fill all 32 slots and make it a tradition.

The Classic — Community Pickleball, Done Right

A first-year tournament built for players of every level

Nine courts, one bracket, and a field capped at 32 teams so the day actually runs on time. Competitive players get a real seeded bracket; first-timers get guaranteed games, clear rules and someone to ask. Our officer team runs check-in, scoring and the schedule, with our chapter advisor on site all day.

Rules & FAQ

Everything a first-time tournament player asks us, answered.

What's the format again?
Doubles, 32 teams max: round-robin pool play (games to 11, win by 2, one game per match) then a seeded single-elimination bracket. Full walkthrough in How the Tournament Works.
What if it rains?

Before the event: if the forecast makes play unsafe we decide by 7:00 PM the night before and postpone to the published rain date rather than cancel.

During the event: play pauses up to 60 minutes. If we can't resume, results stand as played — completed pool results decide placings, an unfinished bracket is settled by seed.

Refunds: full refund if the event is cancelled outright, credit toward the rain date if it's postponed, no refund once bracket play has begun.

How you'll hear: email through Eventbrite to every registered player, plus our chapter's social accounts, by 7:00 AM the morning of.

How does check-in work?
Both players check in together at the front table 30 minutes before the first match, bring your Eventbrite confirmation on your phone, and we hand you your pool assignment and court.
What should I bring?
Your paddle if you have one (we'll have a few loaners), court shoes, plenty of water, sunscreen and a hat. Balls are provided.
I don't have a partner. Can I still play?
Yes — email us and we'll do our best to pair you with another solo player before the deadline. Register once your partner is confirmed, since tickets are sold per team.
Who do I contact with questions?
Email our chapter officer team at hosa@[school].org. We answer everything, including "is this too competitive for me?" (it isn't).

Nine Courts, One Day, Everything Runs on Time

A capped field is the whole point.

Thirty-two teams across nine courts means short waits between matches, a bracket that finishes the same afternoon, and shade, water and a scoring table you can actually find. Bring family — there's room to watch.
