⚠️ **Cancellation Policy:** Please give at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations to receive a refund. No refunds for no‑shows or cancellations within 24 hours, unless the whole event is rained out.
### What’s the Plan?
We’re going Round Robin style, which is just a nice way of saying you’ll keep playing and meeting new people until your arms fall off.
#### 🎮 What’s the Game Plan?
Here’s how the courts are split:
🎾 **1 Beginner Court** (*For newcomers or those preferring a relaxed pace*)
* Learning court lines, scoring, and basic rules.
* Can sustain short rallies and demonstrate basic strokes but still working on consistency.
🏅 **1 Intermediate Court**
* Solid consistency, mid-pace rallies
* Shot placement is improving, but still work-in-progress
* Great for those ready to level up
🏆 **Official Tournament Balls:**
All games will be played using **Franklin X-40 tournament balls** for consistency and a high-quality playing experience.
**Paddle Queue System:** To keep things fair, players will place their paddles in line in box to indicate their turn in the respective court.
**Rules of the Game**:
* **Switch It Up**: After every match, you’ll get a new partner and new opponents.
* **Scoring**: First to 15 points, rally style (no need to keep track of who’s serving—so much simpler lah).
* **Timing**: Each match is capped at 15 minutes, so don’t peng san trying to win.
* **Be Nice**: Keep it friendly—this isn’t the SEA Games, okay?
***
### **Why You’ll Love It:**
* Play with a variety of kakis and test your skills.
* End the day with new friends and maybe a snack after.
***
**What to Bring:**
* Your paddle (or rent one—we’re not judging).
* Water bottle—don’t faint halfway
* Your best “aiyah nvm” attitude when the ball goes sideways.
🔔 **Friendly Reminder:**
Pickleball is a social and physical activity, please be mindful of your own safety and physical limits. Participation is at your own risk. Stay hydrated, warm up properly, and don’t paiseh to rest if you need to. 💪

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream! Their menu uses made-from-scratch recipes in an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, crepes, waffle sticks, specialty coffee & espresso, and more! Their specialty shakes are as delicious as they are over-the-top and they offer an extensive vegan menu! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:45pm showing and we’ll meet in the upstairs lobby between 6:25 and 6:35pm! Advance ticket purchase is advised for this opening night showing! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
