Triple Crowns for Mitch Hargreaves and Dennis Reaves
There were many stand out performances this year, but to win gold medals in all three disciplines is special! Congratulations to Mitch in the Opens and Dennis in the 70 years+.
Thanks to 149 volunteers!
Volunteer support is essential for our tournaments. We are very grateful to all the people who volunteered their time over the 3 days: from line marking on Saturday morning to packing down on Monday night.
Referees
David Jay and his team officiated 202 medal matches plus many more matches over the weekend. Their contribution was crucial to supporting players and ensuring competitors play by the rules.
Thanks to Blacktown City Council
The support of Blacktown City Council allows us to hire Blacktown Leisure Centre - a fantastic venue - at a discounted price. The staff at the centre were responsive and flexible to help us to deliver a high quality event.
Major sponsor – Paradice Investment Management
We are grateful to our tournament sponsor Paradice Investment Management, for the second year. For information on how they can assist you or your organisation, check out https://paradice.com/au/
Score entry extraordinaire
Jane Love did an amazing job manually entering over 2,000 match scores, with very few errors.
Moving to DUPR
This was the last PANSW managed tournament using Pickleball Brackets. We will use the DUPR rating system from the Hawkesbury PCYC tournament on 12 & 13 July - registrations open next week. DUPR provides a more accurate and responsive rating system that will give everyone a chance to medal in every event.
