Greater Greenville Senior Sports Classic 2016 - Update

I have posted about the upcoming Greenville tournament as recently as February 9. I received an email from the tournament director that has some additional information on registering for the tournament.


From Gary Allen:



The fourth annual GGSSC pickleball tournament will be played April 14 and 15, 2016.  This year will feature an open tournament for advanced levels and a one day age bracketed tournament.  Specifics for both tournaments are listed in the attachment.  There is a limit on the number of teams that can register, but there is still plenty of room left.  If you are a club representative, please make sure your members receive this announcement.

The online registration site is now working but is a little hard to navigate.  I've attached directions with this email.  Or you can download the paper registration.

Hope to see you there,

Gary Allen
Tournament Director
