You must be an active club member to participate.

This will be a fun event for everyone! Partners will be catered for so bring along, on the day $5 to cover food if they want.

The draw, events and grading will be sorted pending the number of entries. At a moment there looks to be eight divisions:

• Women Doubles < 50 years
• Women Doubles 50+
• Mens Doubles < 50
• Mens Doubles 50+
• Mixed Doubles < 50
• Mixed Doubles 50+ A Grade
• Mixed Doubles 50+ B Grade

The format will be round robin. If there are two pools, the top entry in each pool will play for the win.

Because of the organisation required, entries close midnight Sunday 3rd November.

We are looking to hold a family and partner fun event which is free for those related to members playing in club champs. A fun round robin so everyone has a go, with prizes! Please let us know if you are wanting to enter a doubles pair or solo so we can match up. This isn’t a formal event, looking to make the day an inclusive event for everyone.

The rough timings will be:

Gender Doubles, 2pm to 5pm

Break with sausage sizzle, 5pm to 5:30pm

Mixed Doubles, 5:30pm to 8pm

Presentation and packup, 8pm to 8:30pm

If you don’t have a partner no worries, just submit your entry and we’ll be able to match people up!

If you have any questions please message Trish Abernethy on Facebook Messenger, or if you don’t have Facebook send an email to the club.

Next event: 5th January 8am to 11am

With 15 dedicated outdoor Pickleball courts Hervey Bay is hosting the largest King of the Court (Ladder) in Australia!

Pencil in the first Sunday of the month for hours of games ranging from beginners to medal winning open players, followed by an optional lunch and drink at the Clubhouse Hervey Bay.

In time we can expand to two sessions to accommodate more players, for now capacity is strictly limited at 60 players so register ASAP to secure your spot!

How it works is simple:

• Everyone starts on courts
• Games are timed to 9-11 minutes
• At the end, winners move upwards and split. Losers move downwards and split

This format gives you the opportunity to play different people at a similar skill level, as you move downwards you’ll win and jump back up, as you move upwards you’ll play better players and drop down.

There is a lot of text below for new players to make sure all possible questions are answered, rest assured it’s simple 🙂

For the first night if you are available please come 30 minutes early so plenty of time to setup a net, meet your team, ask any questions and warm up before games.

For usual nights please arrive 15 minutes before to setup nets if you’re on a court without a permanent net. Unlike social everyone starts together so please make sure you’re on court warming up by 6pm.

Games

The teams are ranked from 1-4.

All matches are doubles and 3 games per combination. 

1 and 4 will play 1 and 4 on one court, while 2 and 3 play 2 and 3 on the other court.

1 and 2 play while 3 and 4 play, then lastly 1 and 3 play while 2 and 4 play.

You’ll play your opposite number all night who will be a similar level, with one partner swapping for a variety of different skilled games.

Please note your teams court allocation as it changes each week

Scoring

Write down the scores of each game into the corresponding sports on the scorecard. Do this each game otherwise you will forget!!

At the end of the night tally the amount of wins.

The wins each week add to your season score. Simply, the team with the most wins by season end is the winner!

Finals

For the finals it will be 1 v 2, 3 v 4. For B grade, 5 v 6 also.

Should the final week unfortunately be rained out, the ladder will remain as-is.

Reserves

If you know future dates you are away please let Matt know so reserves can be scheduled in advance.

If you can’t play this week a reserve will be organised for you as similar skill level as reserve availabilities allow.

If you have a reserve already arranged at a suitable level that is fine, just let us know in advance.

If your team is short a player those games are forfeited so will lose points plus have only half a night of games due to missing team mates, please don’t let them down by leaving a reserve request to the last minute!

Rain

If it rains the week is skipped unfortunately. No team receives any points including the bye team.

$10 a week for club members, $12 a week for non members. Membership information.

This session is played as a doubles format.  Each week that you “opt in” you will play in groups based on games results ranking and will partner with each player in your group. The ‘league’ session runs through Pickleball Brackets which allows all game scores to be entered into the system and then contribute to your club ranking score. Players can move up and down groups each week depending on their game results. It runs from 6pm to approx 8 – 8:30pm.

Session details:

• All players who select ‘opt in’ via pickelball brackets each week are ranked and grouped with players of a similar skill.
• Pickleball Brackets will sort players into groups based on skill levels and will automatically create the partner pairings based on this ranking and create game cards.
• Scores will be entered into Pickleball Brackets which will change ratings weekly
• Pickleball Brackets will automatically move the bottom 2 from group above down and top 2 from group below allowing players to progress to more competitive games as their rating improves.

Benefits of this league:

• You will play with and against different players each week
• Expect competitive games due to players being of a similar skill level being grouped together
• There is no commitment to playing every week.  If you are unable to play or wish to have a week off, simply don’t ‘opt in’ via the Pickleball Brackets website
