AI tournament summary
Written Sep 26
Friday Night Lights was a single division night, and the Men's Doubles 4-6.5 35+ bracket of ten teams went to Dale Zwack and Chase Carmen, who took gold over Kenny Poon and Jon Bradford in a final that was close throughout. What makes it worth telling is that Zwack and Carmen were a brand new partnership playing their first event together, and they turned it into a first win, a first podium and a first gold in one evening. They arrived at the final as the top seed on their side after a comfortable 15-6 semifinal over Gregory Nelson and Phil McDermott, while Poon and Bradford came through with a 15-5 win against Matt Schapiro and Eric Zito. A tidy, well run night of pickleball from a draw that stayed competitive from start to finish.
