Dream Team Doubles — Over and Under
Posted on March 9, 2023 by Ching under Events, Pickleball.
Last year we had a couple of Dream Team Doubles team tournaments at Riverside Tennis Center. This time Noi wanted to do something different. He wanted to include a population of player that usually gets left out of team events. The twist on this recent team event is that at least two of the members of the four-person team had to be 55 and over.
I always enjoy running these events because it gives me a creative outlet for creating some tournament worksheets, which kind of my jam. I shared about it in the ictpickleball.com site.
Here are a few pictures from the event…
Noi Sourinthone – the main pickleball guy.
Erica Case and Cindy Egan
Patti’s Ballers (Wanda Ballard, Dustin Herman, Brady Randall, and Patti Mackey)
JB and the Dinkers (Nathan Peters, Erica, JB West, and Kari Steffy)
NOIsy Picklers (Steve McKinney, Noi, Shelley McKinney, and Katelyn Goldsmith)
Paddle CERJ (Robert Mansfield, Jenny Corley, Cindy Egan, and Ed Egan) — They were the champions of the event.
Left: Team KSBS (Scott Wolford, Becci Young, Kay Schierling, and Stephen Wilson)
Right: Let’s Taco ‘Bout It (Parrish Gumeringer, Ramon Lozano, Fernando Martinez, and Dawn Hazelwood)
These were the top three finishers:
1) Paddle CERJ
2) Team KSBS
3) Let’s Taco ‘Bout It
What I love about this event is seeing a diverse group of players of all ages come together and play as a team. It was so much fun to run and so much fun to watch.
Erica generously hosted an after party at one of her restaurants. It was me and Brian’s first time at Hurricane and we really liked it. It’s clear on the opposite side of town as us but we’d likely go back.
Here’s a highlight video I create of the pictures and video clips from the event.
Anyway, it seemed like everyone had a great time. Can’t wait until the next team event! Until then, GNG.
