Legends Pickleball - Annual Gold Challenge!

Gold Challenge

Gold Challenge

===================

We will track the gold winners in all our Legends events for the given year...the top 5 or so players with the most gold medals for all Legend tournaments for the given year will choose from the prizes listed below, in order of # golds won, and wrap around until all are gone! 

New tie-break process for 2024:

If we have a tie with # of golds, we will break the tie by counting silver and bronze medals won.  Two points given for silver, and one point for bronze.

The overall gold champion will receive a massive trophy, and be highlighted on our site as that year's Top Legend! (We also may be moving to a single trophy with ALL WINNERS listed (think Stanley Cup), and brought to each tournament for display, while the Top Legend gets a smaller trophy for home!)

         

=============================================================
