Your Tournament Team

Jarrod Tinson: Tournament Director

Tournament Team: Matthew Rochow, Rob Towan, Kelsey Smith

And many volunteers who will be wearing blue & pink vests (no fancy meaning behind which is which, just wasn’t enough in 1 colour!)

There is plenty of information below, the main things are:

• Ensure you know your start time and make sure to arrive early for warm ups
• Have a quick look at the parking guide, because we are in the middle of a precinct and not directly on a street it can sometimes be wonky. PCYC or Library are the 2 GPS landmarks most reliable depending from which direction you’re coming in
• Food will be going all day, approx 7am to 6pm. Coffee from 9am to 12pm approx Friday, and 7am to 12pm approx Sat & Sun pending when sales die down

• Shade, seating and water will be provided. If you have comfy camp chairs you can BYO
• Hervey Bay is a direct flight from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne; and a comfortable few hours drive for most of SE QLD

Brief Runsheet:

• Thursday there is a group whale watching and optional K’gari (Fraser Island) tour, with morning (whales + K’Gari) + afternoon (just whales) departures
• Friday singles start approx 10am. Free social play before, and approx 3-5pm as pools condense into finals and courts become available. All singles games at on club courts outdoors

Hervey Bay QPT proudly supported by Fraser Coast Regional Council

Our Courts and Location

Our courts are bang in the middle of town! Google “Hervey Bay Pickleball” for complete directions. Below is a little map. Most outdoor courts are individually fenced so very few balls come running through mid game and have permanent nets. The remaining courts have temporary nets, as does the PCYC.

Within 100m to 300m walk we have Red Rooster, McDonalds, KFC, Dominos, Pizza Hut, Natural Noodle, Hungry Jacks, Guzman y Gomez, Stocklands with over a hundred shops and more! It’s an amazing location. You can see the Comfort Inn just across the road a quick walk away, details are further down.

Food and Facilities

The food options are couldn’t be better!
On site – We have drinks, bacon & egg burgers, hamburgers, veggie burgers, fancy donuts, and snacks available all day 🥳
Coffee – A coffee van will be on site from 9 – 11am Friday, and 7am Saturday & Sunday, until sales die off midday-ish
Delivery – Domino’s will be available every half an hour. Order at the food desk.
Nearby – Per the map above there are dozens of food outlets within 100m walk of the courts, so you can pop out and grab whatever you want very easily.

We’ll have shade, seating, water, toilets. On Saturday & Sunday when PCYC is being hired there are also showers.

We are not a licensed venue so are unable to sell alcohol.

---

Saturday

---

Venues

Hervey Bay Pickleball Club

15 outdoor dedicated courts 🥳

Food, coffee, drinks, portaloos and main admin desk outside. Showers and toilets are inside the PCYC.

10 courts have permanent nets, the remaining courts are mostly PickleNet temporary nets. Balls will be Franklin X40s.

Hervey Bay PCYC

Oddly the other venue for Pickleball in Hervey Bay is the building right door!

PCYC has 2 basketball courts we’re using. One is a multi-purpose court so we’ll tape over the badminton lines, the other we’ll tape the lines.

They are using PickleNet temporary nets, and the balls will be Franklin Indoor Balls.

Being indoors it’s out of the elements. The toilets and showers are inside the PCYC. We will have another desk so you can check in, drop scorecards, and purchase some drinks inside.

Pools and semi finals will be played indoors. For gold/silver, bronze/fourth matches, the default location is inside for consistency, however if you wish to join the queue for the outside live streaming court for gold/silver, or outside for bronze/fourth, if both teams agree you are welcome to 😀 Because of the different conditions, lighting, balls some will prefer to keep the consistency. From an admin point of view it doesn’t matter, only thing is finals could be played immediately indoors, vs a queue for outdoors depending what other pools are ahead.

Depending on the final number of entries, at the moment gender and mixed doubles 50s < 2.99, 60s < 2.99, 60s 3.0 – 3.5 are planned for the indoor courts. The younger kids can hike to the facilities from outside 😀 All singles matches on Friday will be outdoors.

Parking

There are two carparks you are welcome to use, the landmarks for your SatNav being the Hervey Bay PCYC or Hervey Bay Library.

We ask you please not park alongside the PCYC gravel driveway where the 4 cars are pictured as this will be used for walking between the two venues. Minimal traffic will be safer for everyone 😀

Court Hire & Sessions

PCYC

The only opportunity to play at the PCYC before the tournament is to attend one of their social sessions, please refer to their calendar for details: https://www.pcyc.org.au/clubs/pcyc-hervey-bay/timetable/

Club Courts

Court hire is available during the day, BYO paddles and balls. Payment can be made via the website, signs are on the fence.

$15/hour/court.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday 5-8pm approx (after tournament play is finished) the lights will be flicked on. Free for tournament players.

Rotation will be required for 40+ visitors so everyone gets a fair turn.

Friday morning until 9am is available for everyone. After this time if you are not playing singles, please vacate the courts to allow those participating to warm up. No charge for tournament players.

Saturday afternoon as all pool games finish, courts are available to use for practice. Pending the amount of players remaining as the sun sets lights may be turned on for further play.

---

Check In

Check-in at the club courts will be available from 9am Friday, and 7am on the weekend. Players must check-in and warm up at the club courts, THEN head to PCYC for games when access is provided as the PCYC hire is from 8am to 5pm.

If you are not playing until later, please come an hour before your scheduled playing time, this will give you a chance to register, warm up, familiarise yourself with the layout, watch some games, then jump on.

---

Matches

If an event is big then there will be two pools. The top two teams from each pool will go through to a next round of semis then finals.

There are two formats: first to 11, first to 15. Win by 2. You will need to change ends after 6 points (11) or 8 points (15). Check your score sheet it tells you what you are playing to. There is always someone who will write in 11-whatever, and someone will go “you know it’s to 15 right?” then you awkwardly have to jump and kick the players off to finish the game. Don’t let this be you 🙈

We will spend the next few days trying to find partners for those who don’t have them and then we will decide if any events need to be merged. If your event gets merged, then at the end of the tournament, you will still be allocated the QPT points in the event that you originally registered in. 

The draw will come out about 4 days before the event. This will have exact start times and will be emailed and on the website.

If you need to withdraw from an event, then please let us know ASAP, the contact page on the website and tick “relates to QPT”. Refunds are not usually given for withdrawal once registrations have closed. A medical certificate is needed. Also, if you owe money for the tournament, then please go into your brackets profile and make payment as soon as possible.

Scorecards

Throughout the tournament please use Pickleball Brackets website to check that your scores have been entered correctly and see how your playing pool is progressing. It’s a big job entering all that data and errors do get made. You can help us by:

• Completing your score sheet straight after your match
• Both teams sign the sheet
• Circle the winner
• The winner brings in the score sheet to the closest tournament desk
• Keep an eye on your Pickleball Brackets account to see how matches are progressing and that the scores are entered correctly

---

Clothing

Franklin balls being used are the usual yellow/green you’re all familiar with. Please make sure that you aren’t wearing anything of that colour that could distract an opponent to avoid needing to get changed!

Sat 4th May – Social/Beginner to Intermediate (< 3 approx)

Sun 5th May – Intermediate to Advanced (3+ approx). SOLD OUT!

Enter your team of 4 into the appropriate division or join solo to be assigned a team. Each day’s play will run from 10am to 3pm depending on the amount of entries to allow travel time either side for those nearby.

Standard Tournaments	Our Carnival
Competitive and lots of focus on winning	As serious as you want it to be! Don’t need to be competitive to enter
Only a few pool games if you don’t win pools	Big round robin! Lots of games for everyone
All scores must be recorded and are online ‘forever’	Optional! Score if you want to see your team position on the ladder at the end
$60+ entry fee plus accommodation	$30 per player including lunch 🥳 Can travel on the same day if you don’t want to stay the weekend
Lots of waiting around and delays	It’s game time outside rest breaks!
Hours between divisions	Mix around with your 3 team mates all day
Once games are over that’s it	Games all day and if you’re wanting more you can stay back and play!

How It Works

• Enter a mixed team of 4
• Select beginner/intermediate or intermediate/advanced division. Or play both days!
• We’ll adjust pools depending on number of entries
• It’s a big round robin, so you’ll play everyone in your pool
• There are 2 games per ’round’ so 4 games per ‘match-up’. Pick any 2 of your players to play 2 of their players on one court, and the remaining 4 will play on the other court. Once the siren goes, swap and play the others. This means you can constantly swap around: you can play gender, play mixed, if there are stronger players they can play off etc
• Games are timed to 10 – 12 minutes depending on how long it’s taking to get a result
• If you want to participate in the ladder simply write your wins down. Ladder is ranked by the number of wins!

Sunday Format

Appreciated if everyone can arrive on-time for the day and be ready so we aren’t starting late.

Any clear weather impacts will be announced on Facebook + emailed to those who registered (so pass onto team mates), otherwise if unclear we’ll make a call at 7am day of looking at courts & radar. We cancelled our come & try in April because “100% chance of 40mm”, it rained around midnight, was perfect all day, then rained again at night. While they were ‘technically correct’ it’s not as simple as it’s going to rain or not🤦‍♂️

We have: Courts, balls, shade, seating, water, toilets, cold drinks for sale (coke & a few other soft drinks, water, sports drinks), sanitiser, Domino’s for lunch

You need: Hat, shoes, sunscreen, water bottle, comfy camp chairs if you want a guaranteed seat all day, snacks etc

8:45am – Warm ups and mark attendance

9:20am – Briefing, clipboard given to captains for scoring, find your courts, continue free play

If you want to be a sub (i.e. yes gimme any game available!) please let us know during registration so we can mark you down.

If you start getting tired or want more break, please let the admin desk know with some notice, and we can get a sub assigned to your team to help out when they’re available.

The format is relatively simple. Each team has 4 players, meaning each ‘match’ has 2 games to be played. You have 3 possible partners, so you can play all games with the same partner, or a few with each. You can alternate between gender doubles, mixed doubles… it really doesn’t matter.

This means every round you’ll have a game and a break.

The ladder is optional, some people are very competitive, others couldn’t care less. There are no prizes simply bragging rights on the line.

If both teams are participating in the ladder, at any point during the game you can agree on the winner and swap partners until the siren goes. Being such diversity there are going to be same games that are mismatches, do not play out to 25 – 2 or anything ridiculous… unless beatings float their boat in which case 😎

If only one team is participating in the ladder, simply write down a W (win) before you begin. Play any match-ups you want.

If there is a tie when the siren goes, it’s golden point. The next point is played as usual and the winner gets the W.

On your scoresheet simply write W (win) and – (loss or not participating in ladder). No need for the scores. If you want to do your own DUPR thing on the side feel free.

The morning pools have been spread out so different regions play each other as little as possible.

The results from the morning will decide the afternoon smaller pool, that way to bring it home the skill levels will be relatively close.

9:30am – BEGIN OF MORNING POOLS

Everyone has submitted their pizza preferences. We are bulk ordering garlic breads and pizzas which will be put out on a few tables, while you’re welcome to have some variety, if you can eat majority what you ordered that will save anyone missing out. There will be 1/2 to 3/4 of a pizza person which should be plenty.

There are a few dietary special orders which will put be aside.

While we’re trying to keep it simple there are two extra options available, pay on the day:

– If you want a whole pizza rather than sharing it’s $2 for value, $4 for traditional/value max

– If you have a non-playing partner wanting to have lunch it’s $5 to share or $7 for your own value, $9 for own traditional/value max

Both of these can be added during morning registration as we’ll provide Domino’s the list in advance so they can prepare the bulk order.

1pm – AFTERNOON POOLS

If you don’t wish to participate in the ladder it’s no problem, in the morning you’ll be at the bottom ‘excluded’ so simply entering Pool 4 and possibly 3 in the afternoon with teams doing the same thing.

In the very likely event there is a tie of wins within a morning pool, the ‘higher team’ will be the one that won that match up. If it’s tie between multiple times, if you are happy to be randomly decided with a coin toss we’ll do that. If you really care, you can select 2 players from your team, to a first to 5 play off against the tied team during lunch so the afternoon draws can be created in time. You’ll have just as much fun whichever way and there’s nothing on the line so 😀

POOL ONE	POOL TWO	POOL THREE	POOL FOUR
Top 2 of Morning Pool One	3 & 4 of Morning Pool One	5 & 6 of Morning Pool One	7 & 8 of Morning Pool One
Top 2 of Morning Pool Two	3 & 4 of Morning Pool Two	5 & 6 of Morning Pool Two	7 & 8 of Morning Pool One
Top 2 of Morning Pool Three	3 & 4 of Morning Pool Three	5 & 6 of Morning Pool Three	7 & 8 of Morning Pool One

That totals 12 official games per player against 11 unique teams.

Finish time approx 3 to 3:30pm.

We are happy for any players wishing to stay back and play their own games until sunset.

At the end of the day those who are participating in the ladder can tally up their wins, and brag about it to anyone who will listen at the Clubhouse later on 🥇😃

2:30pm Approx Finish

Official draws conclude after 10 matches, there are a few beginners and older players so we don’t want to go crazy with too many ‘forced games’. You are more than welcome to continue playing! It will take a good hour to pack up so feel free to continue playing, we’re aiming to wrap up at 4pm so have time before the dinner.
