Hi Everyone!!!
Technical difficulties figuring out how to post the times for Mixed on Sunday correctly. Ignore the crazy running times that were showing earlier today.
Mixed doubles times for Sunday at Mary Washington:
Events that begin at 12:00 PM: 4.5 Mixed, all 3.0 Mixed.
Events that begin at 3:00 PM: 4.0 Mixed, 3.5 Mixed 15 and up. 3.5 Mixed 35 and up.
See you tomorrow!!! Courts available to warmup one hour ahead. Feel free to come in and check in and pay early then warmup. 3:00 groups should find courts between 2:00 and 2:30 to warm up.
Please email me as soon as possible if you cannot attend.
A couple of notes as registrations close in a couple of days.
1. The plan is to get everyone into a bracket to play in the tournament. If the bracket you signed up for does not have at least 4 teams, we will combine brackets by level to get everyone in.
2. If you or your partner are on waitlist, that means they have not signed up yet. No brackets are close to being full.
3. TENTATIVE START TIMES give or take 1 hour:
Saturday - Women's Doubles at 10 AM.
Saturday - Men's Doubles at 12 PM.
Sunday - Mixed doubles - 12:00 PM.
We hope to have the draws and times posted by end of day Tuesday.
DEADLINE IS MONDAY NOVEMBER 27!!!!
Welcome to the 2023 Baddle in the Burg pickleball tournament! This tournament will be run by, and will benefit, the men’s and women’s tennis programs at the University of Mary Washington. SPACE IS LIMITED
DETAILS:
1 A. Mary Washington Students are just $20 per event, no matter what it shows you online. We decided to eliminate UMW only brackets, so students, faculty, staff can just play in appropriate level event. If unsure, go with 3.0. Faculty and Staff can pay $20 if you request (reminder, it is a fundraiser :) ).
1. ROUND ROBIN PLAY SO WE WILL TRY TO GET EVERYONE AS MANY MATCHES AS WE CAN!!!
2. This tournament is NOT sanctioned. You do not have to be a USAPA member, so you do not have to pay any extra fees!
3. Events for any level and experience. Great place for your first tournament!
4. You can self rate at any level. You can always "play up" but players should not self rate lower than actual ability level.
5. All results will go to DUPR, for those interested in it counting towards your rating.
LOCATION:
This tournament will be held in the state-of-the-art University of Mary Washington tennis facility (University Tennis Center, 1200 Hanover St, Fredericksburg, VA 22401).
There is plenty of space for play, spacious hallways and an upper deck area for the best views overlooking all the courts. Chairs are not permitted on the courts. There are benches alongside the courts for players/limited spectators/coaches. There will be 12 courts with a combination of temporary durable “pro-grade” nets and temporary portable nets.
FORMAT:
•Pool Play for brackets with 8 or more teams: The participants are divided into two or more player pools. Each pool plays a round robin (1 game to 15) to determine the qualifiers that put the players into a single-elimination playoff (2 games out of 3 play to 11 win by 2)
•Round Robin (1 game to 15) for brackets with 5-7 teams: All players/teams play each other. The winner is determined based on number of matches won. If two or more teams are tied, ties shall be broken by (1st) counting head-to-head matches won among the tied teams, (2nd) then point differential of all games played, (3rd) then head-to-head point differential, (4th) point differential against next-highest player/team (e.g., if the players/teams are tied for second, we will use point differentials against the first-place team) until a winner is determined.
•Round Robin (2 games out of 3, to 11 points) for brackets with 4 teams: All players/teams play each other. The winner is determined based on number of matches won. If two or more teams are tied, ties shall be broken by (1st) counting head-to-head matches won among the tied teams, (2nd) then point differential of all games played, (3rd) then head-to-head point differential, (4th) point differential against next-highest player/team (e.g., if the players/teams are tied for second, we will use point differentials against the first-place team) until a winner is determined.
