TCYLA Pickleball Tournament
🎉 Join the Tarrant County Young Lawyers Association for its 3rd Annual Pickleball Tournament: Order on the Court at Courtside Kitchen! 🎉
Test your skill in our 2 v 2 round robin tournament and/or wow your friends in the Costume Contest!
This year you can expect prizes (and bragging rights) for first place, last place, and a number of different costume categories. So kick off the Halloween festivities a day early with TCYLA!
The Costume Contest will consist of three different categories:
“Dynamic Duo” – awarded for the best team costume. Think Sonny and Cher, Batman and Robin, any dynamic duos!
“Punniest”– awarded to the wittiest costume. Who doesn’t love a brain teaser?
“Best Dressed” – awarded to the individual that has the best costume. There are no limitations this could go to the best costume makeup, the most realistic costume, etc. We will not limit the judge!
The Costume Contest will be judged by the Costume Contest Sponsor and will be announced at the end of the tournament. Don’t fret, the costumes will be judged by how you showed up to pickleball not the aftermath. The prizes will consist of trophies, gift cards, bragging rights, and more!
For entry into the Costume Contest, the contestant must have either a player or spectator ticket.
For the Players: Come dressed in your costume (or change at Courtside) and ready to play by 4:30 p.m., no need to bring your own paddles or pickleballs!
