What is A circuit Tournament?
This is a collection of amateur sporting contests that bring added value to USSP membership.
US Senior Pickleball (USSP) organizes or partners in a series of annual pickleball competitions, also known as tournaments. Members get access to certified benefits.
A USSP Championship at the regional, zone, or national level is an official tournament within the annual circuit.
Other tournaments may partner with USSP and offer certified benefits to USSP members who may compete alongside nonmembers.
The circuit may offer a hybrid tournament that allows USSP members and other age groups to participate within separate tracks, simplifying management and controlling event costs.
Check out our USSP circuit tournaments.
Zone, National and International tournaments are run by the association, require membership and meet USSP certification standards.

What are common roadblocks?
Become a USSP member first. Make certain your USSP membership is in good standing. That means that dues are paid and that your membership does not expire before the end of a tournament date. Use a valid email address that is common to both USSP and pickleball.com. Enter your USSP member number in pickleball.com before you sign up for a tournament to receive the discount. Membership in USSP does not automatically make you a member of pickleball.com or vs. versa.
