The inaugural Tundra Tussle pickleball tournament will take place on July 19-20, 2025, at the Big Dipper Outdoor Arena in Fairbanks, Alaska. The event features men’s and women’s doubles on the first day and mixed doubles on the second, with skill divisions ranging from 3.0 to 4.0+. Registration, which costs $30, closes on July 14, and participants must have or create a free DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) account to self-rate and track their progress.
The tournament aims to foster growth in Alaska’s pickleball community by combining competitive play with a welcoming atmosphere for all skill levels. Refunds are available until July 20 at 8:00 PM but are not guaranteed due to processing fees; players are encouraged to find replacements if they cannot participate. Overall, the Tundra Tussle seeks to build community and promote the sport in the northernmost U.S. region.
