PickleMadness: Pickleball Tournament

Nashville — grab a partner and settle this on the court. PickleMadness is a 32-team mixed doubles pickleball tournament on Saturday, June 13 at The Courts at West Meade, benefiting the Cure Alzheimer's Fund. $40 per team. Four tiered brackets, four champions, one great cause.

Here's what makes this one different. PickleMadness is the first stop of a new quarterly series in Nashville with a DUPR-style internal rating system. Every match you play — pool play, bracket play, and open-play seeding games on the spare courts — starts building your rating. By T4, seeding won't come from a questionnaire. It'll come from how you actually played. Show up to Tournament 1 and you're not just playing for a prize. You're starting your rating.

• 32 mixed doubles teams (one male + one female per team)
• 8 pools of 4 — full round robin in pool play, 3 pool games for every team
• Every team makes a bracket. Four concurrent 8-team tiered brackets: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Iron
• Minimum 4 matches total, up to 6 if you reach a final. All four bracket finals run at the same time.
• Open-play seeding games run on spare courts during bracket rounds — every match counts toward your rating
