We are thrilled to join with many other regional facilities to offer the opportunity for 3.5 and 4.0 teams to compete in a Grand Championship event! You will see this advertised on social media as a "Golden Ticket" event- this is NOT a National Qualifier in any way, but it is an exciting combination of regional facilities.

The Regional "Golden Ticket" Grand Championships will be held at Slippery Rock University on Sept. 27-28.  It is only 4 miles from the Interstate and is centrally located between all the other facilities.

You can compete to win a Regional Golden Ticket at the following indoor AND outdoor venues.  You can sign up for as many as you would like:
Around the Post | Erie, PA
Ascent Pickleball | New Castle, PA
Avalon | Boardman, OH
Buhl Park | Hermitage, Pa

Please bring any snacks that you may want while you are playing.  We will bring in pizza toward the end of the event.

Restrooms available near the pickleball courts. 

Round robin followed by semifinal and final matches. We will award medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams in each division. Check your division page for details.

For games to 15, teams will switch sides when either team reaches 8 points. For games to 11, teams will switch sides when either team reaches 6 points.

Each team will be allowed one timeout per game (one minute).

All other IFP/USAPA Rules will be in effect.

There will not be referees during the matches.  You will referee your own matches.  We expect good sportsmanship at all times in this area.

Guidelines for calls:  line calls should be made by team receiving the ball, and should only be called out if the ball is clearly seen as out.  If a player is unsure of the call, they should assume the ball was in, and continue playing.  If the hitting team sees a ball out, they can also call it out on themselves.  Either team can make calls on service faults or non-volley zone faults, and the hitting team is expected to call faults on themselves or their partner.

We appreciate your help to make this event a fun experience.  If there are any problems, players involved may be disqualified from participating in future Titusville YMCA events.
