As you have likely noticed, the Club is standardizing on the use of Pickleball Brackets for organizing and coordinating ladder and tournament play.
As we transition to these new systems, many members have experienced issues, have questions, want to make suggestions, etc. Rather than send these to the Communications personnel at SAPC or to our Board members, we ask that you communicate directly within Pickleball Brackets. Please just login to Pickleball Brackets and do the following:
Ladder Play
For ladder play (shootouts) for both women's and mixed play, click on Leagues and search for the SAPC League that you are enquiring about. I would suggest that while using the Search feature that you choose Canada, Alberta and the keyword "Ladder"; click on the SAPC League that applies and on the next screen click on "Contact League". A Request Form will pop up that will populate with your personal information such that you just need to choose your Contact Reason and then enter your question or comment in the "Comments" section. Note: another way to navigate to the Contact League form is to go into "My League Schedule", click on the left hand (Date/Time ) side of the play session which takes you to session details, click on "Back to League" and then click on "Contact League". Easy peasy, right?
Tournament Play
For tournament play click on Tournaments and search for the SAPC Tournament that you are enquiring about. I would suggest that while using the Search feature that you choose Canada, Alberta and the keyword "SAPC"; click on the SAPC Tournament that applies and on the next screen click on "Contact Tourney". A Request Form will pop up that will populate with your personal information such that you just need to choose your Contact Reason and then enter your question or comment in the "Comments" section. Note: another way to navigate to the Contact Tourney form is to go into "My Tournaments", click on the appropriate tournament and then click on "Contact Tourney".
Missing Balls
Please note that we are experiencing a problem with missing balls early into our outdoor season at Alpine. As you are likely aware, our captains are responsible for tracking ball use and to ensure that all SAPC balls that are brought to each play session are accounted for at the end of that session. All balls must be returned to the captain at the end of each play session including any balls that may have been damaged during play - DO NOT throw out those balls. Despite these reconciliation procedures, our captains have noted four balls missing in the just last few days of play. If you continue to play on after the scheduled completion of a club play session, please do so with your own ball(s) after returning any SAPC balls to the captain as soon as the bell is rung. Our captains should not have to be chasing players nor conducting a scavenger hunt for balls at the end of each play session!
