The 2025 LBI Pickleball by the Beach Tournament will be held indoors at The Picklr Manahawkin–LBI in New Jersey and is sanctioned by USA Pickleball. Players must have a valid USA Pickleball CHAMPION-level membership to register, with registration on a first-come, first-served basis and full payment required within five days to avoid waitlisting. The event follows the 2025 USA Pickleball Rulebook, mandates the use of approved paddles, and requires players to compete at or above their UTPR rating. Matches will be officiated by referees, especially during medal rounds, with strict enforcement of rules including service protocols, time-outs, and sportsmanship standards.
Pre-match procedures include paddle checks, match format briefings, and warm-up periods. Players must adhere to safety protocols, including medical time-out rules and concussion policies. Disputes with referees are managed carefully, with penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct potentially leading to warnings, fouls, or forfeiture of games or matches. The tournament emphasizes fair play, clear communication of line calls, and proper conduct to ensure a competitive and respectful environment.
