Golden Ticket Tournaments are officially sanctioned by USA Pickleball, the National Governing Body for the sport of pickleball in the United States. Players who earn a Golden Ticket receive priority registration for their winning event at the USA Pickleball National Championships. A player’s DUPR rating at the time of Nationals registration determines the applicable skill division.

• Golden Tickets are awarded only at designated Golden Ticket Tournaments.
• A Golden Ticket applies to the event in which it was earned.
• Winners must meet all current eligibility, registration and membership requirements.
• Golden Tickets are non-transferable.

Priority registration is subject to capacity within each division. Read the approved qualification and registration information.
