Venture Out East Valley Tournament

Congratulations to Tournament Co-Directors David Leach and Steve Powell and all of the volunteers for a great tournament this past Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  The turnout, food and, especially, the play was outstanding.  Many commented about how the level of play has improved greatly since last year's event.  I think that is probably the case with Pickleball in general.  Don't you?  I was tied up on Tuesday with other PickleballDude duties (work=UGH) but got to spend a lot of time at the tournament on Monday and Wednesday.  I heard nothing but positive comments from players and spectators regarding all aspects of the tournament.  Tell me that's not unusual, huh!!!!  No griping?  Was this really a pickleball tournament???  Here's a question for you..........how much did David and Steve have to pay the weather gods to keep the rain that came today away and have the 70-80 mph winds in California stay in California???!!!!!  Lottery ticket time?  Just a thought.
One final thought.....If you are participating in Pickleball in ANY way, you should be a member of USAPA.  SUPPORT YOUR SPORT.  JOIN USAPA TODAY!

P.S.  I had planned to post some of the results of the tournament tonight but could not find them posted anywhere yet.  Bummer.
