Save your team's spot for the inaugural 3v3 Pickleball Showdown team tournament scheduled for Saturday, August 15 (starting at 9:30 a.m.) at Parkside Fitness in Pekin, IL! (The tournament will be held indoors and scores will not be reported to DUPR. It is being co-sponsored by Central Illinois Pickleball Club and BNPBC.)

Each three-person team (each team must have at least one female player, although an all-female team is permitted) is guaranteed five rounds (three round-robin rounds and two playoff rounds), and there are four total teams in each division.

Each round consists of three total doubles games that are played regular scoring to 15, win by 2. Note: If both opposing teams include both female and male players, mixed doubles matchups must be played against one another.

Game 1: Player #1 & #2

Game 2: Player #2 & #3

Game 3: Player #1 & #3

Sign up your team in one of four divisions: 3.0-3.5, 3.5-4.0, 4.0-4.5, and 4.5+. In each division, two teams are allocated to Central Illinois Pickleball Club (CIPC) and two teams are allocated to BNPBC. Note: You do not have to be a member of either pickleball club to compete; however, your team captain needs to be a member of one of the respected clubs that has an allocated spot in your division. (Please make sure that your team is signing up for the preferred/correct division!)

Cost is $25/player for BNPBC members and $40/player for non-BNPBC members.
