A Sanctioned Tournament is one which, upon request from your Tournament Director, has been endorsed first by Pickleball BC (“PBC”) and then by Pickleball Canada (“PCO”) as meeting standards defined by the international rules of pickleball and Pickleball Canada. To be sanctioned by PBC/PCO means an event meets those standards, is well-organized, fair and safe for competitors, and follows the rules and regulations set by the governing bodies. Also, in 2026, you can receive tournament subsidies.
