TOURNAMENT DETAILS

The APB SPRING DINK TOURNAMENT (SDT) is a Round Robin Scramble charity event for Adaptive Pickleball (501c3 nonprofit). It’s outdoors at East Riverside Park (1155 S. Suber Rd., Greer 29650) on Monday, April 20 (5: 30 pm start time). A minimum $25 donation is needed to participate.

Donations received will help APB purchase an AED.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable, life-saving medical device used to treat sudden cardiac arrest by analyzing the heart’s rhythm and delivering an electrical shock to restore normal function. Unfortunately, most public parks where APB hosts Play Days do not have an AED.

GAME PLAY DETAILS
Every game at SDT will be played at the kitchen with a slight twist. The non-volley zone line remains at 7-feet, but the out-of-bounds line will be 9-feet from the net, 2-feet beyond the non-volley zone line. This will allow for deeper dinks to better stress opponents. Of course, you still must obey the non-volley zone line but the slightly extended baseline will give you more room for a greater variety of dinks.

Spots are limited to 12 players per division. You sign-up as an individual player. There are three skill level divisions: Beginner/Novice, Intermediate (3.5 skill level), and Advanced (4.0+ skill level).

You’ll play 11 games with a different partner every game. Each game will be timed at 8-mins. It’s match play scoring where each player on the winning team earns a point. If the game is tied after 8-mins, then all dinkers will receive a half-point. The top four dinkers in their division will compete in a “Dink-Off” and the last dinker standing will be crowned the APB SPRING DINK CHAMP!!!
