Paradise PB Events and G.O.A.T. Paddle have released the format and schedule for G.O.A.T. Bowl I, the amateur tournament and fun day of pickleball festivities set for the outdoor courts at Life Time Green Valley on Friday, February 9.
Further to our article last month announcing how this huge amateur pickleball tournament will act as one of the build-up events to the NFL’s Super Bowl LVIII, we now know how the day will pan out.
Single-Elimination Format
G.O.A.T. Bowl I will use a single-elimination, multi-game round format comprising 20 teams of four players.
Teams will put two of their players on the court each round to battle in four back-to-back doubles games up to 21 points.
A winning margin of one point is required, with points earned every rally. The team that wins three games will win the match and advance to the next round.
The teams will play a special 21-point G.O.A.T. Bowl Tiebreaker in the event of a tie, with each team winning two games.
