2023 Information

  1. Novice Veterans – A Veteran who is new to the NVWG in Portland or was new at the 2022 NVWG in Tempe, can compete in the Novice category. Veterans may choose to bypass being a Novice and compete in Open or the appropriate age division, but then must compete in all their events in that division.
  2. New Medal Event: PICKELBALL — Competition will be Doubles (Para’s; Quads, Mixed Gender). This is subject to change after we see how many register for the event. Manual chairs only. Veterans can compete in pre-set pairs (both must be registered for Pickleball) or we will pair up Veteran athletes. Tournament will be double elimination; games will be to a score of 11 with a 15-min time limit per game. Mercy rule will be in effect if game becomes 8-0.
