This past Tuesday 11-29-11 at Pickleball we had a mini round robin tournament for the first 16 men that came. Anticipation was building to the blind draw pairings of doubles partners that would give each team 7 games. We started 20 minutes late, but gave everyone a few minutes to warm up, be friendly until competition began, then started into the night. We had no seeding, but instead lumped everyone into the same category, just to try out tournament mode, and playing with new partner pairings, and opponents. We could have easily had more guys, but next time.
Final results and pairings were:
- 1st Warren P. & Rhys M. (6 wins)
- T2nd Brian & George, Matt Khan & Mike Krab., Henri & Matt A. (5wins)
- T5th Matt Krab. & Warren Z. Nathan K. & Gene L. (3 wins)
- 7th Justin M. & Pat T. (2 wins)
- :) Victor K. & Andre (Had Fun!)
A great time was held by all and we finished on time!!! ARC staff was amazed and very happy:) Mini-tournaments teach us how to play with different partners, how to anticipate different opponents, and help us find that edge. We will try to do a tournament on Tuesday nights once a month trying different formats each time. And yes ladies...we will involve you next time.
