| Broccoli pizza, hold the broccoli |
The March meeting of the Servers’ Committee convened yesterday for the second month in a row at Round Table Pizza, where a record crowd of 17 found it hard to beat the all-you-can-eat lunch special and privacy of the backroom to do our dealings, or were we dealing our doings?
Kelly’s always interesting Pickleball Pig report failed to indicate how much pork we actually have. The best she could account for was “whatever we had in it last time.” Her explanation was that “Audrey has been away and I haven’t seen the pig in a long time.” Oink. Oink.
Because of injuries, Lance #2 is retiring from pickleball and from his ball-the-czar position. He told us, though, that he enjoys our company so much that he will keep attending our social events. He also is donating his Pickleball Drive sign to UVP, but not his paddle, which he would be happy to sell to you for $50, no shipping or handling charges.
I guess if your name is Lance then you are destined to be the ball-the-czar, because by unanimous acclamation Lance #1 was anointed to the position vacated by Lance #2.
A discussion then ensued about the merits of the faster yellow balls, which we have been using ever since pickleball started at the Y, and the slower green ones, preferred by the Ashland club. After Marty came up last week to give a clinic, we started using the green ones exclusively.
Because so many folks showed up to play last week, over 20 last Monday and Wednesday, it was suggested by Kate that we play the King and Queen Court format on busy days. To minimize wait time between courts, the games will be timed rather than played to a specific score.
Our tournament director, Bill H., reported that the qualifying tournament had gotten underway. The two mixed doubles teams representing our club against Ashland on April 11 at our celebration of International Pickleball Week will be JD and Kerri, who won all three of their matches, and Kate and your humble reporter, who won two matches. The other two mixed doubles teams who competed in the qualifier were Bill and Rey and Bruce and Pama.
Late Breaking News Alert: The tournament director just contacted this reporter via cell phone to report Friday’s results in the qualifying tournament: The women’s doubles team of Rey and Kate finished first, followed by Judy and Kelly. In men’s doubles JD and Claude qualified for the #1 position, and Bill H. and Lance #1 are in the #2 position.
Back To the Meeting: Dale, our equipment manager, reported on the status of the net set-up that he built for us. It’s a little more complicated to put up than the other nets, so he will show us all how to do it on Monday.
