Divisions in the tournament were 4.0 Mixed, 3.5 Mixed, 3.5 Senior Men, 3.5 Women and 2.5-3.0 Mixed.

During the round robin format, each player’s points earned were totaled and the top four from each division advanced to the final round.

The bottom four played for a consolation match.

Medals were handed out to the top four scores in each division.

“It was a fun event with loads of pickleball players and fans cheering in the bleachers at Eddie Tam Gym,” said Laurie Loney, of Pickleball Maui.
