More Info
What is Semi Pro? Semi Pro is a monthly tournament concept that exists outside of normal league play.
Why? Semi Pro addresses the competitive needs of players who choose to play in LI-Kick's leagues, but are surpassing the competition offered in the weekly leagues. Semi Pro will bring together LI-Kick's most advanced players for regular monthly tournaments.
How to get an Invite: Semi Pro is invite only and consists of a pool of ~40 advanced players who actively play LI-Kick or have a long history of playing LI-Kick. These players have a guarantee spot in each tournament. There is a separate Open division and Women only division. Interested players can join the waitlist to request an invite.
How Semi Pro Pickleball Works: Tournaments are doubles and played 'Indy style'. In pool play, everyone will play 6 games with randomized partners and opponents every game. Every player will advance to a single elimination tournament. Playoff teams are formed by allowing the highest pool play finisher to pick their teammate from the available pool and so forth until teams are made. The tournament will play to award a podium.
Guest Players: Guest players may be used to achieve even numbers in each division. Guest players are invited to participate on a by-tournament basis.
Tournament Attendance: It is not required to attend every tournament. Guest players will be used in the case we are below the minimum needed.
How the Tournaments Connect: Each tournament will have a winning duo. The winning duo will not be allowed to partner up in the playoff portion of future tournament (except for the final tournament). Players will have individual Semi Pro ELOs which will rank them in the overall standings.
Who 'Wins' Semi Pro?: Each tournament will have a winning duo. The 6th and final tournament, called the Grand Finale, has a slightly different format.
Tournaments Dates:
Location: We have a full facility rental at Pickleball Hall (246 N. Main Street, Sayville) for every tournament. Pickleball Hall has 7 courts.
Price: There will be a joining fee of $40 to join Semi Pro as a confirmed player which must be paid upon accepting the invitation. There will be an additional charge of $55 to play in each Semi Pro Tournament. Guest players will need to play the tournament fee but not the joining fee.
Game Play Rules:
Grand Finale: The Grand Finale is the 6th tournament in the series and will crown the ultimate champions of Semi Pro. The goal is to give the grand finale a more 'championship feel', to separate it from the 5 previous tournaments. To achieve that the format is structured by player rankings from the previous 5 tournaments. Players who have performed the highest over those 5 tournaments have an easier road to the championship, but everyone who plays has a chance to win.
Qualification: Players need to play at least 2 tournaments to qualify for the Grand Finale, however we need multiples of 4 to run this format so we may loosen that rule by waiving that/ allowing guest players, or tighten that rule by adding an ELO standard.
Round 1: Seeded Pool Play
Players are entered into seeded groups based on their ELO from the series. You play a full round robin with the players in your group (3 games). The top players from each group advance to 'A' Semis and the other advance to 'B' Semis.
Round 2: Semi Finals
There are separate 'A' and 'B' Semi Finals. All players get 3 more randomized games within their Semi Final group. The Semi Final round gives players in the 'B' a chance to move up, and players in the 'A' the risk of losing their spot. Pool play records do not carry over into the Semi Finals. Players are moved up/down based on Semi Final records.
Round 3: Championships
At this point, the final bracket is set. Players form teams with the #1 ranked player getting to pick their partner from within their final pool. This will be single elimination team style games. The winning team will be the Semi Pro champions.
