Pickleball

    Pickleball will be a team (doubles) event and Class
    II-V competition is limited to 75 players. Class IBIC
    is also limited to 75 players. This will be subject
    to change after the number of Veterans registering
    for the event is determined.


    Manual wheelchairs only, no scooters or power
    wheelchairs are allowed.


    For Class II - V: There will be two divisions Experienced
    (playing pickleball for 2+years ) and Beginner
    (less than 2 years). In May, Veterans will be
    contacted and assigned to the appropriate Division
    for competition.


    Veterans can compete in pre-set pairs, but both
    need to be registered for the Pickleball event.
    We
    will pair up registered Veteran athletes who don’t
    have a partner.


    The tournament will be double elimination. Games
    will consist to a score of 11 with time limit of 10
    min. per game. A mercy rule will be in effect for
    each game if 8-0 is reached. Dependent on the
    number of Veterans registered for the event, the
    game score to 11 and mercy rule may be subject
    to change. Specific NVWG Pickleball Rules will be
    published on the NVWG Website: www.wheelchairgames
    org
    .


    For 2026: Medals will be awarded to the top three
    teams in each Division (Experienced and Beginner)
    and IB-IC.
