10 October 2021 Redland Pickleball Club Championships

The 10th October was World Pickleball Day

Our club celebrated with our annual club Championship Tournament.

62 players competed over 4 divisions and there many epic games. The winners are below but everyone that competed were winners. A great fun day and the food everyone bought along was amazing.

A huge effort by some of our injured players helping with marshaling (Pam Phillips and Geoff Arnell) Scoreboard (Louise Jackson) Tallying Results (Wayne Jackson and Matt Strawbridge)

Some interesting statistics from the day:

• 62 qualifying games were played in under 2 and half hours on just 7 courts

• 19 sets were played in the finals with 11 of them being decided by the barest of margins (2pts)

• In just 5 hours 81 sets of Pickleball were played with a half hour stop for lunch.

It sure beats hanging around all day, wondering what court and what time you’re going to be playing.
