~ Universities around the nation are using the NCPA Software to run fundraising tournaments. We are making it as easy as possible to fundraise with ease. ~

​

NCPA Collegiate Pickleball Fundraisers:

​​​

• These tournaments are run by college players and will be open to the public. Any university at any time can run an fundraiser and the idea is to invite local colleges to compete together... The more numbers, the more funds raised for your Univeristy.

• All tournaments will be automated and texts sent out to all players. Makes the tournament extremely efficient and easy to run.

  • One player from each game will input the scores immediately. Texts will then get sent out for the next game to start. Players inputting their scores immediately is crucial to the tournament not​ running long.​​​​

​

Balls and Paddles Provided:​

​

• Free Balls and $150-$300 Paddles are provided! Making it as easy and convenient as possible for you all to run a fundraiser.

ALLOCATING FUNDS:

​

• ​When registering, a player will choose a university involved in the fundraiser to allocate a portion of their registration fee. This way, universities are rewarded for how many players representing their Univeristy come and compete.

• NCPA charges $10 per player that will be used directly for collegiate pickleball growth. This includes balls and paddles sent out to the tournament. College pickleball's growth this past year has been incredible and this is essential in the NCPA continuing to make the future of this sport flourish.

• NCPA charges $5 per player for using the software alone. Does not include balls and paddles.

​

REGISTRATION FEES

​

• Registration fees are recommended to be set at $20 per person per bracket. A player can play in a maximum of three brackets (doubles, singles, mixed) $20 per bracket, up to $60 total generated per player.​​​​​​​​​​ This goes directly back to universities.

NCPA Rep Responsibilities:

​

• For each tournament, an NCPA Rep (tournament director) will need to run the tournament. This can be anyone at the venue that is not playing. They will:

  • Check in players.

  • Change scores inputted incorrectly.

  • Be accessible to all players throughout to tournament to answer any questions.

  • Ensure Water is at the venue and a First Aid Kit is accessible.

  • Make sure the tournament is on schedule and not running behind.

  • Be on call throughout the tournament with an NCPA team member that will help them with any questions.

  • Take pictures of all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams for every bracket (one photo with all of them and one of just 1st place...) and is responsible for emailing all photos to ncpa.official.contact@gmail.com. Make sure to label photos.

  • Encourage people to post on Instagram tagging NCPA and sponsors (chance to win free entries into future tournaments).

​​​​​

FORMAT:

​

• The type of format varies between two options for efficiency of the tournament. Pool play (pools of four) into single elimination is standard and if brackets are 7 teams or below, round robin is played.
