Why Collaborate with Pickleball.com?
US Senior Pickleball may use Pickleball.com software for competition bracket generation and event management. Members benefit from discount arrangements for circuit and certified tournaments. USSP player rankings are recorded in pickleball.com .
What is the difference between circuit and Certified?
A circuit tournament is an event associated with US Senior Pickleball not necessarily run by USSP. Organizers have applied for certification to give USSP members benefits. Participants do not need to be a member of USSP for the event but must be in good standing to receive benefits. Participants that are USSP members receive a $10.00 discount for certified events and earn ranking points for prizes awarded at year end.
Zone, National and International tournaments are run by the association, require membership and meet USSP certification standards.
Why link my accounts?
If you plan on playing in USSP tournaments, create an account in Pickleball.com or update an existing profile. Your active USSP member number must be entered under Association Membership in pickleball.com for you to enjoy discounts and track your USSP rankings.
How do I link?
Make certain you have your USSP member number available and membership dues are current BEFORE linking. GOTO the pickleball.com home page and find the Log In or Sign UP links in the upper tool bar. Click Log In to update your profile or Sign up to create an account in picklball.com. Enter any personal information and navigate to Association Memberships. Find US Senior Pickleball.

What are common roadblocks?
Become a USSP member first. Make certain your USSP membership is in good standing. That means that dues are paid and that your membership does not expire before a tournament date. Use a valid email address that is common to both USSP and pickleball.com. Enter your USSP member number in pickleball.com before you sign up for a tournament to receive the discount. Membership in USSP does not automatically make you a member of pickleball.com or vs. versa.
