Play in the Media Match

As part of this three-day celebration of all things pickleball, we are hosting a “Media Match,” where major media outlets will go head-to-head for bragging rights to be considered the best press-picklers in D.C. This media match will take place on Thursday, 9/28 from 4-6pm. 

Participating teams, each representing a different media outlet, will play Round Robin Doubles until the team with the best record plays one final match to crown the victor and take home a prize. There’s no minimum skill level required and no fee to enter—the whole 3-day event is free and open to the public. 

If your media outlet is interested in sending a doubles team (of two players) to compete in the media match please contact: (awilson@webershandwick.com) or Meghan Baumler (mbaumler@webershandwick.com).
