Dar United is an official DUPR tournament — you will only be able to play if you have been registered with our club on DUPR. Join the Smash n' Smiles club →
Three venues. Four brackets. One community. Dar es Salaam's pickleball tournament — competing for fun and friendship, playing for something bigger.
Subject to change as categories fill or venues confirm.
📅 Sept 5 at Tanzanite Sports Hub: Gender Doubles pool games.
📅 Sept 12 at PSA: Mixed Doubles pool games · Men's Doubles Semis & Final.
🏆 Sept 20 at SmashZone starts at 7:00 AM and runs to about 5:00 PM: Mixed Doubles finals, Women's Doubles, every Singles draw and the Junior draws — the tournament's last day.
⏰ You don't need to be there at 7:00. Each category has its own start time and most begin later in the morning — check your own fixtures for when you're on, and come about 20 minutes before.
🎾 Both Men's Singles draws are now round robin — everyone plays four or five matches instead of risking a single knockout game.
🏅 On Sept 20 medals are presented as each category finishes, so you can head off once yours is done — no waiting for a closing ceremony.

Dar United runs as four pools — Gender Doubles, Mixed Doubles, Singles, and Junior — each playing its entire run at one home venue. Tap your category below, sign up, and pay your registration fee. Your DT code (used to find your match in DarTourney) is released here — and sent straight to your notifications — about 48 hours before your match, once spots for that category are locked in.
Dar United moves across the city — each weekend lands at a different home court.
A few things every player should know before registering.
In doubles, the higher-ranked partner's DUPR determines which bracket the team must join. Want to play in a different bracket than your rating suggests? That requires admin approval as an exception.
Don't have a doubles partner? Create a Team in DarTourney anyway — other players looking for a partner will be able to find and match with you.
Once you create a Team, you have 2 weeks to find a partner. If your Team is still incomplete after that and other fully-paired teams are ready to play, you may be moved to the waitlist.
Bracket exceptions exist for genuine edge cases — mixed-experience partnerships, new-to-DUPR players, and similar situations. All exceptions are reviewed and approved by a tournament admin.
If a bracket doesn't attract enough registered teams to run fairly on its own, organizers reserve the right to combine it with a neighboring bracket. We'll always aim to keep matchups as fair as possible if this happens.
Three steps between you and your first match.
Find your category in Brackets & Sign-Ups above and tap "Sign up" — that's the only registration step, no separate form. No need for DarTourney up front: your DT code (for finding your match) is sent to you here, and to your in-site notifications, about 48 hours before your match once your registration is confirmed.
Pay your registration fee through any of the three channels below.
Send a WhatsApp message to 0792 267 163 with your payment screenshot, specifying the full name(s) of the player(s), the category, and the tournament name (Dar United). Once payment is received, your spot will be confirmed.
Once your sign-up is confirmed, join the Dar United Players community for match updates and schedule changes.

Dar United isn't just a tournament — it's powered by OwosTanzania, and every registration helps fund real dental care access in Tanzania.
Oral disease is preventable, yet it remains one of the most under-treated health burdens in refugee settings. At Nyarugusu, more than 135,000 people currently have no access to a permanent dental clinic — care today is limited to occasional, pain-driven outreach visits with no continuity.
OwosTanzania's answer is the Dental Care Unit (DCU) model: a permanent, professionally managed clinic staffed by locally trained dental professionals, built inside a protected setting rather than a government facility exposed to displacement risk. Every DCU is run under OwosTanzania's full clinical and operational management, with no charge to the patients it serves.
The first DCU is a proof of concept — every outcome, cost, and process becomes the replicable blueprint for the next one. From one pilot clinic to a nationwide network: that's the destination.
Dar United gives your brand visibility across Dar es Salaam's fastest-growing sports community — while directly supporting OwosTanzania's dental care mission.
