Pickleboo Halloween Tournament

Description

ANNUAL VIRGINIA PICKLEBOO October 25-27, 2024.

Update October 19, 2024

We are able to make the 12 courts work for Pickleboo on Friday and Sunday although they will be long days. On Saturday, we have added 6-8 courts at Performance Pickleball which is just a few miles away. Once we get the schedule all worked out, you will receive a notification if your matches are being held at Pouncey Tract or at Performance Pickleball. All benefits of this event from the swag bag, t-shirts, give aways, raffle, medals, etc. will be available at both locations.

Update October 14, 2024

The County of Henrico is limiting the tournament to the original 12 courts and not opening the new 12 courts until the week after the event. Due to this change, we will be closing regular registration early and anyone entering will be placed on the wait list and we will do everything possible to expand the event to include as many players as possible on the wait list once we look at the event schedule start and end times.

In order to get the shirts in time, we will place the order on October 13, 2024. Any registrations after will not receive a shirt. We will offer a towel for those who do not get a shirt.

Any players without a partner when we get to the waitlist stage, will be moved to the waitlist and those with partners will take that slot.

$45 Registration Fee, $10 Referee Fee, $5 Volunteer Fee for a total of $60. plus $15 per event.
