Mission Royale Pickleball Tournament

 FeedBack ( 0) Ranch Team Captures Mission Royale Gold!
Mission Royale (Casa Grande, AZ) had its challenges holding their 4th annual pickleball tournament. The 4 day tournament started well with sunny skies, but during day two, play was suspended because of rain – a rain which continued for the next 2 days. In the end, the tournament was condensed to men’s and women’s doubles only even with the addition of a make-up day. But then the make-up day had a delayed start due to fog. The mixed doubles competition was cancelled completely.
While the sky may have been gray, one of our Ranch teams successfully captured 1st place and a gold medal in the Men’s 3.0 bracket. Mike Fielding and Chris Jerman swept the winners half of the bracket and then stumbled slightly in the gold medal match (losing 2 games straight) but came back to win the tie breaker 16-14. This accomplishment completes a 3 week run of tournaments where the Ranch 3.0 men have won 2 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal. Go Ranch!
Other than Mike and Chris, the Ranch had 4 other teams compete at Mission Royale. The rain delay and mixed doubles cancelation caused two other teams to drop out.
Next week, Bill Reynolds and Rick Hanson will head to Mesa to compete in the All City Pickleball Tournament on Wednesday.
