The partner must be a resident of RI and from a town that is not holding a local qualifying tournament. The winners of each division will move on with other community winners throughout Rhode Island to participate in the State tournament in late summer. The State tournament is organized by the RI Recreation and Parks Association (RIRPA). The first ever RIRPA State Pickleball Tournament will be held at the South Kingstown Recreation Center August 26th-28th. Fees for local tournaments are $50/team and includes the entry fee to the state tournament for local tournament winners. Money raised will support local tournament hosts and will also go towards grant money which parks and recreation departments may apply for to help cover the cost of facilities, equipment, instructors, etc. For questions, please contact Mark Ehrlich, Barrington Tournament director at marksehrlich@gmail.com. |
