2016 Resident Tournament and Winners
The 3rd annual resident tournament is now history. There were three categories and four skill levels under each category. The categories were Women's Doubles, Men's Doubles and Mixed Doubles. The skill levels were 2.0/2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 3.75 (comprised of a 3.5 player and a 4.0+ player). We had a great turnout of participants at all skill levels with s significant number of first time participants. For the two day event we had a total of 186 entries comprised of 97 different club members. 47 people participated this year who did not play last year. We had over 60 people volunteer with the set up, tear down, and operation of the tournament, including a number of participants. We had a terrific number of quality matches at all skill levels. Kudos to each and everyone of you who participated as well as the club members who are providing training to both newcomers and experienced players alike. Now that you have experienced the competition, I expect to see a number of you playing in area tournaments throughout the year.
Thank you so much to all the volunteers. The tournament would not experience the level of success without each and every one of you. A special thank you to the following people who coordinated/oversaw the volunteer activities. They were Bob Burtch, Mary Burton, and Pam Phillian. Kudos also to MJ Wong and her team in preparing the food each day. Finally to Steve Arthur for managing the referees, Jerry Steger for training referees and Paula Steger and Sandi Feller for managing the registration and brackets and keeping the matches moving along.
Congratulations again to all the medal recipients, but in my mind we were all winners. Tournament and after party pictures are posted under pickleball photos to the right. Take a look you might see someone you recognize.
