~ Universities around the nation are invited to use NCPA's Tournament Software to run a tournament at any point in the year and raise money toward travel costs. We are making it as easy as possible to fundraise quickly and not be restricted by expenses when wanting to compete against universities nationwide. ~

​

ALUMNI FUNDRAISERS:

​​​

• These tournaments are run by college players and will be open to the public. Any university at any time can run an alumni 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 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.

• There will be an "NCPA Rep" (tournament director) that can be any person at the event to help make sure everything is running efficiently. They will be quickly given a walkthrough on how to use the software, register players, and answer any questions that the players have leading up to the event and during the event.

​

​

FORMAT:

​

• The type of format used is completely up to the NCPA Rep. We have multiple options built into the software to choose from (double elimination, round robin, pool play, etc.). Completely customizable to fit the fundraiser you are looking to run.

​

REGISTRATION FEES AND DONATIONS:

​

• Registration fees are set to whatever dollar amount the NCPA Rep decides as these are the main source of fundraising. We recommend $50 per player but it can be less if the NCPA Rep feels lower fees would bring in more players.

• Donations will be accepted upon registration. This option is primarily for alumni (parents, grandparents, those that want to support a specific university). Choices will pop up on a dollar amount to donate right before a player registers for a tournament.

​

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. A donation will also go directly to the University selected by the player when registering.

• Our non-profit, the NCPA Foundation, will retain 10% of all funds that will be used directly for collegiate pickleball growth. 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.
