The tournament is played with a mixed-doubles format, and matches are played with the best two of three games to 11 points. There is a two-match guarantee. Recreational and competitive-level players will compete in age groups. Ages range from 21 to above 90. The cost is $15 per team. Individuals looking for a pickleball partner may also register.
Pickleball paddles will be provided if you do not bring your own. All participants will receive a medal. Winning teams will receive a trophy and bragging rights.
Pickleball has elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. It is played on a badminton court, with the net lowered to 34 inches at the center, with a perforated plastic baseball (similar to a whiffle ball) and wood or composite paddles. Although easy for beginners to learn, pickleball can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game.
For more information or to register for the tournament, contact Antoinette Daniel at 206-684-7092 or antoinette.daniel@seattle.gov.
