Sea-Tac Pickleball Skills Tournament is happening Saturday & Sunday September 15 & 16, 2012. This will be the closest USAPA tournament to us in the Lower Mainland, BC. There will be divisions in Men's doubles, women's doubles, mixed doubles, ladies singles, and mens singles. *You will need to be a member of the USAPA, which is a different membership than Pickleball Canada.* Of course each of those divisions are broken up further into USAPA ratings classes: 3.5 and under (beginner), 4.0 (intermediate), 4.5 (advanced) 5.0 (4.5 & 5.0 players only or the tops.) This tournament draws North Americas top pickleball players: Steve Wong, Chris Miller, Billy Jacobsen, Mark Friedenburg, Tim Nelson, Jenifer Lucore, Darcy Jacobsen, and many others. This tournament is proof that Canada needs to adopt the player ratings of the USAPA for all it's tournaments. Many pickleball groups in Canada have already started to adopt this rating, but many tournaments in Canada are just simply recreational or competitive, which can be very diverse in their abilities. If you are a competitive pickleballer in BC, and you want to up your skills, experience then make a push to be at this great semi-local tournament.
