Our third annual Pickleball tournament was a big success! We had a beautiful sunny day with temperatures heating up in the afternoon.
Our challenge was a large number of participants and only two courts to play on. We started with beginner and intermediate groups in the morning followed by advanced in the afternoon. We had 24 players in all with a few on the waitlist. Games were played round robin style with everyone partnered up at the start according to skill level. This was a super fun but also competitive tournament! Games were limited to 15 minutes with volunteers timing and keeping everyone on track. Each group ended with a semi-final and a final game. Locals turned out to cheer and support their friends and community members.
Thanks to our pickleball committee (Mel, Leigh, Robin, Barb and Mitch) for all their hard work leading up to the big day. A shout out to everyone who helped run the BBQ and refreshment table. Drinks, refreshments and hotdogs were available for everyone who came out to enjoy the day.
Thanks to our awesome community we had draw prizes for all 24 players! Prizes included gift cards to many local businesses and restaurants, golf rounds, and PB swag bags. The day wrapped up with medals awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers, as well as a 50/50 draw.
