This is one of the registration systems for the PADS Pickleball BC Tournament event, April 20, 2024. By the way PADS is Pacific Assistance Dogs Society.

Your Club may be doing their own system – check with them before registering though this portal.

Each Club may or will have its own method of running the event on April 20 – check with your Club for details.

Our objective is a lot of people playing pickleball on April 20 – enjoying themselves in a light competitive mode, socializing with others they may not have seen for a while and gaining a higher level of respect for various service dogs, in particular those provided through the PADS organization.

This whole event is supposed to be easy to join, easy to participate in and easy to manage. It is about a lot of people coming together to the benefit of a worthy charity.

NEW EVENT ADDED - 3.0 at 8 am.

We will make every effort to accommodate everyone that has to go 'wait list'.

Your cost to participate is comprised of 3 segments.

First - an overhead fee of $5 – collected on behalf of Pickleball

Second – A charge by the facility that is hosting the event.

*** Make sure you sign up with the CLUB you intend to play at or with - not every Club has registered yet.

*** If signing up to play at the North Shore Winter Club, please note that $20 of your registration fee will be donated directly to PADS from the NSWC.

*** The North Shore Winter Club fee per event (you can only sign up for one) is $45.00

Third – an opportunity to donate funds to the benefit of the PADS group. PADS is a registered charity, funded solely by donations. As a registered society your donation amounts will net you a CRA Tax receipt. Please be generous.

Each Club will have their events (they may have more than one depending on how they organize the day). Look for your Club name and additional information as you proceed through the registration system.

As part of the process you will be asked if you wish to donate - please be generous. There is no 'write in' amount provision but you may choose several of the options provided.

Registration via this system will close March 31 at midnight PST.

We are not the only fundraising avenue – PADS are ‘beating the bushes’ of their usual donors in support of this joint venture as well.

Some venues may be outside, yes in April, and as such could be subject to the extremes of our weather. In the event of nasty conditions the local Club will have the right to cancel or postpone to a later date. Once you have signed up and paid the fees etc. – sorry we will not be enabling refunds. This is a charity event – you will have your tax receipt for your donations. The Clubs may choose to donate excess funds they net at their discretion.
