Jeff Smith, Chairman, SBR Pickleball Club Communications Committee
The SBR Pickleball Club staged its own internal tournament May 5 through 7 to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo holiday. In case you didn’t know, Cinco de Mayo, or the fifth of May, is a holiday that celebrates the date of the Mexican army’s May 5, 1862, victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. The day is also known as Battle of Puebla Day. About 90 players participated in the round-robin formatted event. Winners were determined by the number of games won overall.
