INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW
TIERED POINT SYSTEM
The more you play, the more you earn— and the more opportunities you unlock.
The Tiered Point System( TPS) is a new nationwide program that rewards USA Pickleball members with points every time they compete and medal in any sanctioned tournament. This program offers USA Pickleball Champion and Challenger members a new and exciting championship opportunity.
How it Works Sanctioned tournaments will be categorized into tiers decided by number of registrants, Golden Ticket status, and ref format Each tier is assigned corresponding point values, with Golden Tickets receiving the most points Players will accumulate points based on both tier of event played and participation within that event Point totals accumulate throughout the tournament year( September 1, 2025- August 31, 2026)
Why It Matters Earn your way to Nationals. If you don’ t win a Golden Ticket, your TPS point total can help you qualify to be eligible to participate in Nationals. While playing in a combination of tiered tournaments can earn players enough points for Nationals eligibility, playing in one Golden Ticket tournament will automatically award the points total needed to be Nationals eligible. Compete in the Series Point Championship. Top point earners in each division will receive priority registration. Currently planned for Spring 2027.
