A Round Robin is structured play where players will compete in 6 doubles matches. It is an Open Division – for anyone regardless of how they identify. Each match players will receive a new partner and 2 new opponents. Each player is playing as an individual and the players with the most wins/head-to-head/points will be our Gold / Silver / Bronze Medal Winners for the Event.
Mini Singles definition:
- Mini-Singles is played on a standard pickleball court. B. An additional line must be provided that extends the centerline of the court through each non-volley zone. The color of this line is not required to be the same as the other court lines (e.g., if tape is used for the centerline extension.) C. Except as otherwise provided herein, Mini-Singles is played according to the same rules as Singles. D. The unique feature of Mini-Singles is that at each end, only one of the two courts (i.e., the right [even] or the left [odd] court) is “in play” during a rally. The courts that are in play are determined by the required player positions.

Park in the Plaza Garage. Parking will be validated. Park on the 3rd floor, if available, and enter the casino on the 3rd floor through the door past the garage elevators. Walk down the ramp and turn right into the hotel elevator. Take the elevator to the 5th floor. The pickleball courts are next to the pool deck.
