About the registration

New sport alert! Dream Con is bringing Pickleball to the lineup for the first time ever—get ready to serve, rally, and compete. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the game, this community tournament is all about high energy, friendly competition, and great vibes.

 

The tournament will feature six matches in a 2v2 format. All matches will be timed at 8 minutes each and played to 7 points, creating approximately 48 minutes of continuous round robin play. The top two teams based on round robin results will advance to the final. The championship match will last 10–12 minutes and will be played to 11 points. If the match is tied at the end of regulation, it will be decided by a win-by-1 finish.

 

Sign-ups are officially OPEN for teams, so claim your spot before it’s too late. Applications close on Sunday, May 31st. Please note: no individual sign-ups will be accepted, and Dream Con will not be responsible for organizing teams.

 

With a $1,000 prize on the line for the winning team, the stakes are real—don’t miss your chance to be part of one of Dream Con’s most exciting on-site competitions!
