Schools Register, Not Individuals
Entries come through schools. The announcement lists "F.O.C" where a registration link would normally sit, so no sign-up page is posted, and it gives no closing date or entry cap. Sports We Play's events account, which announced the tournament, is the place to ask.
The poster carries four logos: MSSPP, Sports We Play, Pickle By The Sea and the Penang Pickleball Association. It does not say what role each plays. It also lists no prize pool.
A Venue Used to Crowds
Pickle By The Sea has 16 courts, 14 of them PPA-sized and 2 grandstand courts, according to its Sports We Play venue listing.
The venue hosted the two-day Piala Ketua Menteri pickleball tournament on 22 and 23 Aug, where 480 players were expected. It also has the Fresh Start Novice Championship on 31 Oct and M Paddle Fest on 5 Dec on its calendar.
The school tournament follows on 17 to 19 Nov.
