About This Tournament
The 2026 Waterfall Open at the Picklebarn runs April 9–12 as the second of four Grand Slams leading to a Year End Championships (eligibility requires podiuming at any Grand Slam, with prize money/prizes at championships). All divisions are capped at 16 teams and use pool play into bracket play with everyone advancing to a double-elimination bracket for a minimum of 4 matches (most 5+); division placement uses a weighted DUPR (70% higher/30% lower) with teams moved up if over the cap by 0.09, unrated/low-confidence players placed at TD discretion, and scoring may be adjusted to maintain schedule within a division.
