Sunriver Music Festival’s “Play On!”
Pickleball Tournament: May 31 – June 1
The first pickleball tournament to benefit Sunriver Music Festival will take place May 31 and June 1 at the Fort Rock Park Pickleball Complex.
Players can register for the “Play On!” tournament at www.PickleballBrackets.com. The cost is $75 per player. The tournament is open to players 14 years and older. Self-identified skill levels for each bracket include Beginner 2.0-3.0, Intermediate 3.0-3.5 and Challenge 4.0+.
Teams will compete in a round robin using skill level brackets based on the number of participants. Brackets will be leveled and managed by the tournament directors. Semi and championship matches will be held for each bracket as dictated by the number of participants.
Tournament times will be:
- Noon to 5 p.m. Friday, May 31 for mixed doubles and finals
- 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 1 men’s doubles and finals, and 1 to 5 p.m. for women’s doubles and finals
Fees raised from the tournament will offset the administration and supply costs, as well as raise funds to support the festival.
Visit Central Oregon (www.visitcentraloregon.com) has agreed to partner with SRMF by granting the funds for the court rental at Fort Rock Park. Sponsorships, lodging partners and vendors will be encouraged as the planning continues.
Volunteers also are needed to help with the tournament. This tournament is a “fund and friend” raiser for the Sunriver Music Festival, with the proceeds supporting the festival.
