Last night at our tuesday evening pickleball, we had a mini-mixed doubles tournament. We took 10 gals & 10 guys, drew them from a hat and away we went. We played round robin, so every team was guaranteed 7 games. Special recognition goes out to Jane Squires at left, who with her partner Henry won all 6.5 games. 6.5 games you say? Halfway through the 7th game, Jane pulled a groin muscle, which on my advice she should definitely call it a night. We still have some varying abilities amongst our group: from beginner/intermediate - intermediate/advanced, as noted in some matches. We did notice 1 male individual, who tried winning at all costs hitting all his hardest shots at the weaker player, and controlling his own shots by poaching all the shots. It looked like a single playing against a set of doubles. Apart from those 2 incidents, everyone enjoyed the chance to meet new pickleballers that maybe only play in the afternoons or evenings, and a chance to learn more about the game.
JANE, hope you're feeling better!
