1 3170 Deming Way Middleton, WI (608) TEE HITT ( ) Ambassador Invitational June 29: Men s Doubles & Women s Doubles June 30: Mixed Doubles THEME This tournament is intended to serve as an opportunity for the regional Ambassadors and members of their clubs to experience this new and exciting teaching/playing/tournament venue. The hope is that nearby Ambassadors will come with several teams from their area to visit, play and meet other players from the region. While designed with competition in mind, it is also part social mixer. For players coming from areas without an Ambassador or club, this event is intended to give those players an opportunity to meet their nearest representative and learn about local places to play and other players from their vicinity or skill level. Finally, by providing a unique format of the Social bracket, we hope to entice first-time participants without the pressure of significant competition.

Competitive Division These three brackets (3.5, 4.0, 4.5+) are designed with the competitor in mind looking for challenging and vigorous play against players of similar or higher skill. Braggin Rights Whichever Ambassador brings the most teams. AWARDS To the Ambassador that brings the most teams, a Traveling Trophy engraved with their name. Top three teams in each bracket of the Competitive Division will receive awards. All teams in the Social Division will receive (4) Free Open Play Passes to Hitters SportsPlex and the top team will receive (2) Free 10-Punch Passes. TOURNAMENT FORMAT/RULES All brackets will follow a Round Robin format each match being one game to 15, win by two. Winners determined by most matches won, then points, then head-to-head.

9 Courtside Etiquette Spectator Etiquette for Pickleball Matches Pickleball matches are as much for the spectators as they are for the players. Spectators are just as responsible for sportsmanship as players are. Seating Spectators are encouraged to sit on bleachers for all indoor games. Chairs may be placed should the tournament director have designated seating. On outdoor courts spectators should sit behind the fences. Typical Spectator Etiquette Be on time for match play and already seated before the match begins. During play it is expected that all spectators remain seated until the ball is dead (meaning rolling) or until there is a 2 minute time out. Movement of spectators during play can serve as distractions to the players. Mobile phones should be off or on vibrate, and phone conversations during play are unwelcome. On indoor courts, refrain from walking immediately behind the courts while play is in progress. Do not retrieve balls for the players. Balls will be retrieved by players or umpires. Do not shout out line calls or try to assist players while the ball is in play. Do not criticize the umpire during a game, but discretely discuss questionable calls with the referee in a constructive manner after the game is over. Refrain from cheering when a player is preparing to serve, or once play has commenced. Good etiquette welcomes your applause when either player makes a winning shot and the point is over. Cheering when a player makes an egregious error is classless. Applauding or laughing after an error is usually seen as disgraceful even if the player of choice earned a point due to their opponent s misfortune. Good etiquette remains silent during live play, but spirited cheers are welcome after a hard earned shot is won by either team. Children who find it difficult to remain seated and are a distraction because of their loud chatter should be taken outside into the foyer of the building or away from the back fence of an outdoor facility. Leave the scene clean.

10 K Illini Pickleball A Division of Kirk Enterprises, LLC (c) (e) IlliniPickleball@gmail.com Court Lines Painting & Taping Pro-Lite Sports & Equipment Distributor Lessons/Clinics/Tournaments Keeping Score Pickleball scoring to an outsider is nearly indecipherable. Five Zero On Start. What? Even as a player, a pickleball insider, there are still many nuances to master to become a proficient score keeper. I am sure that all of us have at least once been in a game where not only you but your partner and the opponents have all seemingly lost track of who is serving, from which side the serve is to be made and what the score is. Were you a 1 or a 2? What s the score? Adding insult to injury, someone leaves disgruntled. Remember, Rule #1 is to have fun and it s no fun when there is an argument over the score. Losing track of the score or the serving side will prove to have deadly consequences at a tournament. So, there are three simple actions you can take to improve your chances of always knowing the score and not getting into a disagreement over it. 1. Announce the score before every serve. Not only is it a rule, it s just good communication as well as courteous. By saying the score before every serve, you are reinforcing it in your own mind as well as the other players memory. This will increase your chances that if you forget the score, especially after those long vigorous rallies, someone else will remember it. 2. Speak clearly and loudly. The gymnasium echoes, there is other background noise and your opponents are 44 feet away. In my experience, the average player is approximately 60 years old. Individuals in that age bracket have begun to have some form of hearing loss. Speaking clearly and loudly in conjunction with using accentuated articulation or a staccato cadence increases the chances that everyone hears your announcement. 3. When your team s score is even, your starting server must be on the right-hand side of the court and vice-versa. From Section 5 Service Sequence Rules, Paragraph 5.B.4 of the Official Tournament Rulebook: The team s points will be even when the game s starting server is on the right-hand side. Points will be odd when the game s starting server is on the left-hand side. Remembering this will help you return to the correct serving or receiving position especially in those instances when you and your partner have performed a switch during a rally. Take a few minutes to work through why this is true. See you on the courts and keep em between the lines! F:\Pickleball\binder\referee\article--Pickleball Scoring.doc version 2.0

32 Feedback Form We value you as a customer and we are constantly striving to improve. Please let us know what we did well and what we could do better. If there is one particular issue (good or bad), we'd like to know! What could be better: Need some more benches Pursue sanctioning Remove the guide wire over the warm-up courts Under tournament format winners would be decided by wins then total points scored then head to head which I think that is the correct way to determine the winner (editors note: we rectified the Men s Doubles 4.0 standings to have the first tie-breaker be points, then head-to-head.) What went well: nice tournament. I enjoyed it immensely... actually I was very happy we only played 6 games with two byes. I was bushed at the end. enjoyed the tournament very much. Nice facility, very organized, and most of all things moved along very quick. that was a fantastic tournament! Time start ups were 100% accurate. Well-planned, excellent organization. Your demeanor, personality and stamina in fostering the game is awesome. Wow...I'm impressed with your organization and especially your biography. You did an excellent job running the tournament. I liked the way you had things scheduled. The time allotment was spot on and things moved along very well! Loved the facility we ll be back. The extra amenties were icing on the cake: free coffee, near the expressway, great hotels nearby. Location, location, location.
