Pickleball Friends
The Atlantics Pickleball Tournament will be held in Fredericton on May 29, 30 & 31, 2020. The tournament will be hosted by the Fredericton Pickleball Club (FPC) and it is open to all pickleball players.
See attached poster which was made to announce the tournament and not provide all the tournament details. For Atlantics tournament details go to the Information Page on PickleballTournaments.com.
Registration for the Atlantics is with PickleballTournaments.com and is now open! I know some of you have already registered but please continue to spread the word. Thanks.
A couple of significant changes this year:
1. This is a Pickleball Canada sanctioned tournament. For a Regional tournament like this it means that all medal matches require a referee. This will be a challenge for us as we don’t have a lot of Referees here in Fredericton. Therefore, we are asking for help. If you are at least a Level 1 Referee – Scorekeeper, please volunteer to referee games at the Atlantics when you register. More details to follow.
2. This is a 3 day tournament:
(a) Singles on Friday, May 29.
(b) Doubles on Saturday, May 30.
(c) Mixed on Sunday, May 31.
3. We modified the age brackets for both Divisions 1 and 2. See attached poster.
We also have a block of hotel rooms reserved at the Radisson Kingswood Hotel & Suites at 41 Kingswood Way, Hanwell, NB, E3C 2L4, (506) 206-6270. This is a beautiful brand new hotel and they gave us significantly reduced room rates at $119 per night and they are only 5 minutes from the venue. You will definitely not be disappointed.
I hope to see you in Fredericton at the end of May.
