This is the 5th anniversary of this popular event, which is for fixed mixed pairs. It has been oversubscribed in previous years, and given pickleball’s ever increasing popularity we anticipate strong interest again, so get busy finding a partner!!!! Event Format There will not be age / skill sub-divisions. Instead, the competition will have three phases :-
1. In Phase 1, pairs will be arranged in groups of mixed age / ability and will play round robin matches. 2.
In Phase 2, the pairs will be grouped into divisions based on the results from Phase 1, and there will be a further series of round robin matches. 3.
In Phase 3, the leading pairs in each division will play in knock-out competitions. If the event is heavily subscribed, part of phases 2 & 3 may involve a double elimination knock-out competition, which will accommodate more entries. This format will mean more games for all players than traditional tournaments. Everyone will have 10 games minimum, and those who reach the knock-out stages will play more, with a maximum of 14. In addition to the competition phases above, some court time will be available for practice / social play.
