Pickle in the Land

Pickleball is Taking Over The Land Again!

Pickle in the Land presented by Nature Stone Flooring is back this December 13-15, 2024 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland. We have made tremendous updates to our tournament.

NEW IN 2024:

All matches will be played on Pickle Flex Pro, a Har-Tru product. That’s right, all 24 courts will be professional grade pickleball hard court surfaces!

Guaranteed Number of Matches: 3 matches guaranteed. Please see tournament format below.

Expansion: Pickle in the Land will be using Hall A +B in the Convention Center. This means more room between courts for matches and spectators.

USA Pickleball Credentialed Officials: ALL medal matches will be officiated. During pool play, one (1) credentialed official will oversee three (3) competition courts.

Vendor Village: With more space and more participants, Pickle in the Land will be hosting a vendor village for sport specific brands, apparel, and more!

RESN Broadcast: Rock Entertainment Sports Network will be live broadcasting from Pickle in the Land on Friday and Saturday! Broadcasts live from a championship court will air from 4pm-7pm and will feature a full play-by-play and color commentating crew. The network will be available on channel 22.1 through free over-the-air broadcasts and the parties intend for it to be available through major cable, satellite and virtual pay-TV platforms throughout Ohio.

Tournament Format:

  • Pool play – round robin – best to 15, win by 2 (guarantee minimum of 3 matches).
  • Pools of 12* teams or less, top 2 from each pool advance to tournament play. (*could change depending on total number registered)
  • Pools of 13* teams or more, top 1 from each pool advance to tournament play. (*could change depending on total number registered)
  • Tournament play bracket – best to 15, win by 2
  • Championship match – best 2 out of 3, first to 11 win by 2
  • All first, second and third place finishers from each division will receive a medal

All participants will receive a Pickle in the Land t-shirt AND a special giveaway item with their registration!

Pickle in the Land is not a ticketed event - it is free and open to the public.
