UTR Sports, creator of world-class tournament management software and the world’s most accurate pickleball rating system, has announced a dynamic partnership with The Elite Pickleball in Kansas that will support the continued explosive growth of the sport across the Heartland.

The partnership establishes an exciting series of tournaments that will lead into the UTR Sports: Overland Park Open, a USA Pickleball Golden Ticket event scheduled for May 14-18, 2025 in Overland Park, KS. All tournaments in the partnership will be sanctioned by USA Pickleball, and further information about the other tournaments will be released in the near future.

The partnership aligns with UTR Sports’ mission to connect and grow the sports of tennis and pickleball with accurate global ratings, innovative events, and a global community centered around level-based play. The new series of events also will give recreational pickleball players throughout Kansas and the Midwest the chance to compete for national championship opportunities.

The series will be powered by the UTR Pickleball Rating (UTR-P) and UTR Sports’ innovative software and hosted by The Elite Pickleball, part of the Elite Tennis and Wellness family.
