The Tournament will be held at the Portage YMCA. Thursday evening and all-day Friday, September 16 - 17, 2010. This is a wonderful facility with seven indoor Pickleball Courts!
Thursday evening includes 7 new skills drills for registered competitors and we've added Crazy Mixed-Up Doubles with some fun prizes & awards.
The Friday "round robin" format remains the same. We are playing MIxed Doubles first! You may enter once for Doubles and once for Mixed Doubles. One entry is $25 and two enties are $30. There is a $5 discount for USAPA members.
Tournament registration is limited to a maximum of 100 players not to exceed 12 teams* in each of 9 divisions on a "first come-first served" basis. Divisions are Mixed 19+; Mixed 50+, Mixed 65+, Women's 19+, Women's 50+, Women's 65+, Men's 19+, Men's 50+, Men's 65+. The age of any team is based upon the youngest player as of December 31, 2010. Teams may compete in a younger bracket, but they may not compete in an older one.
(Registration opens at 5pm) Be on court at 6pm sharp Thursday night for 7 new fast-paced skills drills*. Every 7 minutes the horn will sound and you'll move to the next court for another challenging session. We'll take a short break at 7pm, then re-group for Crazy Mixed Up Doubles.
[Thursday night activities are free to registered players and $15 per person for all others. Spectators free!]
How's your PPM (Points Per Minute)?
We start at 7 pm with a burst of 10-minute court times. You'll be paired with random partners and track your individual points for each round. There's no telling who your partner may be! Practice your skills drills while you "Clown Around on Court". Every point counts toward some Crazy Mixed Up Prizes!
The YMCA closes at 10 pm.
