Step Three
Earn Points Towards Nationals
Depending on your pickleball journey, each sanctioned tournament you play in earns you points through our Tiered Point System (TPS), but Golden Ticket Tournaments are your fastest path to Nationals, as gold medal winners earn priority registration.
Through the Tiered Point System (TPS), you’ll earn points each time you compete and medal. Points are based on the tournament’s tier — with Golden Tickets awarding the most — and accumulate throughout the season (Sept. 1, 2025 – Aug. 31, 2026).
See more information below and HERE as well.
- Nationals Eligibility: Even without a Golden Ticket, enough TPS points can qualify you for Nationals. One Golden Ticket tournament automatically awards the required points.
- Series Point Championship: Top point earners in each division earn priority registration for this special event in Spring 2027.
Whether you win gold or build points over time, sanctioned tournaments keep your Nationals dream alive.
Step Three
Secure Spot at Nationals
Once you’ve played in a Golden Ticket tournament or earned points in USA Pickleball-sanctioned events, you're ready to register. Opening in August, Tier 1 priority registration is earned by winning a Golden Ticket at a 2026 Nationals-qualifying tournament, 2025 Nationals gold medalists, athletes age 70+, and athletes impacted by 2025 rainouts. After Tier 1, division capacity is reviewed and Tier 2 opens via waitlist, with athletes advanced into the draw based on TPS standings as space allows.
