Tournaments

Due to the health emergency, there are no tournaments planned for 2020.

Picklemania IV

Thank you to our members who registered in the Picklemania 2019 tournament. We regret that Picklemania has been cancelled this year. Compared to the same time last year, registration was down. We heard that Picklemania was scheduled at the same time as another tournament in the USA, the biggest tournament on the West Coast, including Oregon and Washington. It seems that many couldn’t resist that kind of challenge and weekend away!

We hope you will enter Picklemania next year. All suggestions welcome for improving our tournament.

With the good weather just around the corner, we will consider hosting some outdoor tournaments at the outdoor locations this summer.

Picklemania III

The North Shore Pickleball Club held a very successful one-day tournament on March 24, 2018. We had 78 entries in two separate formats: a rotating partner format, and a fixed partner format.

Thank you to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to help make this third annual tournament a success: on the food side – Georgia Hunter, Ann Hale, Ann Westwood, Diane Brothers, and Pat Crawford; on the registration desk, scoring desk and marshalling – Linda McIntosh, Paulette Cloutier, Lorinda Rawlings, Ed Orlovsky, Estha Murenbeeld, Anis Kanji, Chris Minions, Ginny Minions, Gael Hannula, Patty Tougas; and, for assisting with set up / take down, Jo-Ann Elliott and Ivy Hung.

We also would like to thank the tournament director, Charles Neufeldt, and the NS Pickleball Club President, Linda Sullivan who supervised the day’s events.

Thank you to all the sponsors:

Manta World Sport
Cono Sur by Authentic Wines
Bean Around the World
Parkgate Farm Market
Safeway

Thank you also to all the people who donated and collected the door prizes—15 in total, which included wine, coffee cards, pickleballs, a sport bag, and shirts. Thank you Dennis Hoffman, Patty Tougas, Pat Crawford, Georgia Hunter and Allan Gauthier.

Thank you to all the participants who entered our third annual Picklemania tournament at Parkgate; and thank you to all the spectators who showed up to cheer on their family and friends during the day.
