ROUND ROBIN THIS SATURDAY
We had a vote this week for the type of round robin to run this weekend - and the winner was a repeat of last week's earn your group round robin. Check in at 8 am, start time 8:30. WE ARE GUARANTEEING NO GROUPS OF 12. Because of this, certain numbers of players won't work - so we are taking the highest number that can be divided into groups of 8 and 9, FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. Early registrants will be in, very late registrants COULD miss out if the numbers don't work. Last week all 42 players who registered played! Deadline is 7 pm Friday, but we reserve the right to adjust it earlier (or later) to make the numbers work. The more players we have, the less chance anyone gets left out! So sign up NOW!

ROUND ROBIN RESULTS
Saturday's round robin included 5 groups and 42 players. Full results can be found HERE.

KAILI YUEN IS CROWNED MISS ALOHA HAWAII 2023!!!
We are so proud of our beloved Hui member and social media director, Kaili Yuen, who tonight was crowned Miss Aloha Hawaii 2023 at the Aloha Theatre!
Kaili also won two other awards during the competition. She won Miss Congeniality (which is no surprise to anyone who knows her) as well as the Service award for volunteering over 900 hours during the past two years!
Kaili showed incredible poise and confidence throughout the competition. In her interview question, she was asked about pickleball, and she talked about how everyone should come to play with her group. As her social platform was physical fitness for all, she talked about how pickleball is a perfect activity because it is accessible to all ages and abilities!
We can't express how happy we are for you, Kaili! Congratulations on this amazing achievement, we are so proud of you!!!
