GET READY FOR THE
2019 MARGARITAVILLE
USA Pickleball National Championships!
T
he 2019 Margaritaville USA Pickleball National
Championships—the sport’s premiere event—is set
to return to the beautiful Indian Wells Tennis Garden
November 2-10 with various tournament upgrades that are
sure to excite participants and pickleball enthusiasts across
the nation.
The Indian Wells Tennis Garden will be expanding to 49
pickleball courts, allowing for more participants. In addition
to more courts, Nationals will have new fan-friendly
tournament scheduling, which will help spectators take in
all the amazing pickleball action, plus more restrooms and
concessions throughout the facility. As part of the upgrades,
players will have access to the Championship Court included
in their registration price, online check-in and a revamped
player-focused venue layout with a variety of food options near
the courts.
Players will see a revised ticket pricing structure, including
VIP seating and packages, when they go to the registration
page. Please review all your options carefully.
NEW THIS YEAR
We are excited to share the new registration process with you
outlined below:
• General registration will open on August 1 at midnight
PDT. When general registration opens, players will be
22
allowed, for a one-week period, to register at a time that is
convenient for you with no priority given by timestamp of
when you registered. On August 8, a random drawing will
take place to determine the remaining spots in each event
after pre-registration. Players will be notified if they got a
spot by August 22.
• When a player’s name is drawn, he/she and his/her partner
will be entered in all events for which they have registered,
if spots are available.
• Once all spots are filled, the players who were not chosen in
the lottery will be placed on a wait list in the order by which
they are drawn.
• Anyone registering after August 7 will be placed on the wait
list after those from the lottery.
We hope this method of registration will relieve the anxiety of
not having the fastest network or typing fingers when trying to
get a spot. We feel this process will give all an equal chance to
get into all available events.
FRIDAY NIGHT KICK-OFF-PARTY – On Friday night, November
1, join us for the player kick-off party, complete with the Media/
Pro Challenge, wheelchair exhibition, food, and entertainment,
and be sure to meet all your fellow participants and pickleball
enthusiasts. See details on the registration page.
