Inter Centre Play

The last inter centre play event of the year was at Milliken. Malvern was the invited centre. We were unable to get pictures because of time constraints. (We only had 2 hours this time)

The badminton group had 16 players with representation from Milliken, Don Montgomery, Warden Hilltop, and Ellesmere centres.

Check back here in March to see if we can set up another event.

Inter Centre Play 2915

Participants:

A fun time was had by all. Special thanks to all those who brought snacks. The tournament was a Swiss round robin for 5 rounds. Thanks to all for bearing with me as I experimented with this new style. If you could send me an email (pickleballed@gmail.com) with the following feedback, it would be most appreciated:

1. Was the format enjoyable?
2. If yes, why? If not, why not?
3. It was suggested that we provide name tags, how should this be implemented?
4. One of the objectives was to have the games get more competitive as we go, did we achieve this?
5. We seem to be dominated by stronger players this time, how can we encourage more varied skills?
6. We went without referees, is this okay, or is referees better?
7. What is the one thing we can do to improve this event?

A fair criticism of the event was that some people were not aware of the play format. That is, we are playing everybody in 1 category. I apologize for this over sight. In the future, the format will be explicitly included in the Inter Centre Play page.

In case anyone is interested in the actual results, here they are:
Great grand kahuna: Dennis and Godfrey at 5 wins and 0 losses.
Grand kahuna: Lloyd and Paul at 4 wins and 1 loss.
Kahuna: There were 4 teams tied for the title of Kahuna at 3 wins and 2 losses.
