Dear Pickleballers,

Thank you to everyone who played/participated in the Labor Day Tournament.  Due to the fabulous efforts of Jan and Duane (and please play next time - I will man the scoring table so you both can join in), it was a fantastic and successful event.  So far this year we have had three HCPA sponsored tournaments using three different formats:  the first one used a random draw for permanent partners during the day; the second allowed players to select permanent partners prior to the tournament; and this last one used a random draw for different partners for each game.   Did you like these formats?  We would like to have another tournament in the next month - any suggestions about format?   Should we run two mini tournaments at the same location that pairs players and teams of the same self-rated skill level (or run two tournaments at two locations)?  We would like to include as many players as possible, so please let us know what we can/should do in the future.

Nets for drop-in play will be set up on the following days and in these locations:

Tuesday 9/4/18:   Ice Rink Courts - 9am    [NOTE: As of this morning, No Drop-In Play at Locust Park - Still need volunteers to set up]

Thursday 9/6/18: Ice Rink Courts - 9am    [NOTE: As of this morning, No Drop-In Play at Locust Park - Still need volunteers to set up]

Saturday 9/8/18:  Ice Rink Courts - 9am  AND  Locust Park Pool Courts - 8am

*NOTE:  WE NEED VOLUNTEERS TO SET UP NETS  BEGINNING THURSDAY 8/23/18, in order for drop-in play to continue at Locust Park Pool Courts on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  I am back to work starting  and will not be available to set up during the week any longer.

Please email me if you are able to volunteer so we can get the equipment to you.

Thank you, Rob
