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.
