PREMIER PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENTS

At Pints & Paddle, we pride ourselves on providing the best pickleball tournament experience in the Midwest. Our tournaments focus on:

Lots of Games: We structure our tournaments so most teams play in pools of 6, guaranteeing at least 5 games.

High-Quality Competition: We use tighter rating windows (often .25 splits), which leads to fairer, more competitive matches.

On Time: We run fast, efficient tournaments that minimize downtime. More playing, less waiting.
