The Lincolnshire Pickleball Open 2026 Concluded on the Sunday with the 50+ competitors. The biggest event the club has had so far. They took part in the gender doubles in the morning, then the mixed doubles events in the afternoon.
45 matches per hour from 9am to 7pm with a window at lunch time for something to eat and drink.
Again, thank you to all the players that made the journey, to make the event a success, without the players, we have no tournament, and the feedback was that everyone enjoyed the whole 2 days, with many making new friends who no doubt they will be playing against in the future.
All the eligible results have now been entered onto the DUPR system for the HUGE 476 matches that took place over the weekend, with 227 event entrants which is a fantastic turnout.
