Battle of the Paddles is a mixed-doubles style tournament that will take place at Bounce Philly, located at 913 Wallace Street, in Philadelphia from 11:00 am- 2:00 pm. You may register in advance as an individual or doubles team, and you can list your doubles partner's name at check-out. Or you may also reach out directly to notify us of your doubles partner at a later date. Registered individuals without a doubles partner by the day of the event will be assigned one. Teams will be selected to play each other based on general skill level, and the winning teams will advance to the next bracket until a final team is deemed the winner. All teams should expect to play at least one game in the tournament. We will supply all the equipment you need to play, or feel free to bring your own gear. Parking is free.
