Pickle Ball Tournament by Carlinville Rotary Club

EVENT PAGE

Who: Carlinville Rotary Club

What: Open Double's Pickleball Tournament

When: Saturday, November 9th at 12:00 PM

Where: Blackburn College's new outdoor pickleball area. The address we're using as of right now is the Demuzio Student Center at 700 College Avenue, Carlinville, IL 62626

Cost: $100 for each two-person team. High School & College Students can ask about prorated pricing at registration.

Why: This is a charity fundraiser to raise money to find out club's various community efforts.

How: Teams can register one of two ways: 1.) either at the event by providing a check made payable to "Carlinville Rotary Club" or by paying cash, or 2.) by sending an e-mail to rotarypickleball@yahoo.com & reserving a spot in the spot in the tourney ahead of time (they will still have to pay by check or cash at the event). If a team hasn't pre-registered via e-mail, teams will be entered into the tourney on a first-come, first serve basis until all 24 available team spots have been filled.

Prizes: We have prizes for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place.

Number of available tournament spots left: 24 (as of 11/6/24)
