Star Valley Pickleball Tournament – 7/31/2014
We competed in the Star Valley Pickleball Tournament over the last 3 days. It was held at the Star Valley Ranch RV Resort.
Milly and Fred refereed for the women’s doubles matches on Tuesday. Milly also refereed for Men’s Matches on Thursday. Milly has decided she cannot compete in two straight tournament events because of the stress to her ankles.
The tournament was all round robin format where you played all teams with your bracket or pool.
On Wednesday, Milly and Fred lost their last match for the Gold Medal by a score of 15-14. They earned a silver medal in level 3.5 Mixed Doubles. They won 7 matches while losing one.
Fred and his partner from Thayne, WY (Art Bernhard) ended up with Bronze Medals in the 3.5 Men’s Doubles where only 3 points separated all the medal winners. Fred and Art gave the Gold medal winners their only loss. They won 6 matches and lost two but one of those losses was by 15-14 score.
The all round robin tournament was interesting since everyone got to play the same number of matches.
Over 80 competitors played in this mid week tournament. It was fun and we made a lot of new friends.
Milly and I feel we are now playing better as a team.
