Overview Pickle in the Land is the largest indoor pickleball tournament in the Midwest. Every fall the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission and Rock Entertainment Group turn the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland into a four-day pickleball hub, with singles, doubles and mixed doubles brackets for everyone from top-rated players to weekend regulars. Registration has grown every year. On site More than two dozen courts fill the convention floor, including match courts and a stadium court, with open play on Thursday, a Club Cup for local clubs, pro demonstrations and clinics, and a Vendor Village. Matches air on RESN, Rock Entertainment's Ohio sports network. Partners can present a court, run LED share of voice on the big screen, take a Vendor Village booth, put gifts and coupons in the player boxes, brand the broadcast set, and appear on the event's website and signage. Audience Players are about two-thirds men and one-third women, spread from their twenties into their seventies, with the biggest groups in their late twenties and late fifties. Most come from across Ohio, with players from about 20 other states and Canada. The deck describes them as affluent and loyal, and they bring family and friends to watch. Talent and Influencers The draw runs from recreational players to high-rated competitors chasing cash prizes, and pros run demonstrations and clinics. RESN puts announcers, analysts and a camera jib on the stadium court, and the event is part of the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission's calendar alongside national championships it brings to the city. Track record Now in its fourth year, the tournament has grown from a first-year event into the biggest indoor pickleball competition in the region, completing about 1,500 matches in a single weekend. It is backed by the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, the nonprofit that brings major sporting events to Northeast Ohio, and by Rock Entertainment Group. Brand presence Akron Children's is the presenting partner, with Apex Skin, Akron-Canton Airport, Kitch Pickleball, Franklin Sports and Hunter Wellness Center on board. Past partners include JOOLA, Parrot, Skechers, Cleveland Clinic, Nature Stone, Har-Tru, Pepsi, Truly, Olipop and ACE Pickleball Club, seen on court barriers, the LED screen, the broadcast backdrop and in player gift boxes.
