<p class="font-md">Emma Willard School is the host venue for the 4th Annual Thanksgiving at Emma Tournament on Nov. 22-24. This year's event has women's, men's and mixed events and SCRAMBLES!
Please sign up and join this annual Thanksgiving tradition. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the competition is strong and fun. There will be a raffle, food drive and clothing drive to support local charities. Make Emma a part of your holiday tradition.
Events are round-robins with a 5-game minimum. Players can play up a skill level. Events will be split by age based on registrations. The goal is to have age-based events! Email me at cathleen@pickleball518.com if you want to play but feel strongly about playing in an 50+ group. If I have enough interest, I will split the event.
For the scrambles, you sign up as an individual and will rotate partners. Scramble results will not be submitted to DUPR. Medals will be awarded to the top players. For players competing in other events, the scramble is only an additional $10.
The tournament director is Cathleen Crowley Denbeaux of Pickleball518.
