Barb and the Nationals

Barb and her female pickleball partner were last year’s Senior Games Eastern Ontario Champions.  So they qualified for the National Senior Games which were held in Edmonton this summer.  Barb thought her partner wanted to go and her partner thought Barb wanted to go.  It turned out the neither of them particularly wanted to go.  It was going to be very expensive to fly to Edmonton and stay in a hotel for a few days.  Also, she didn’t think there was going to be any competition.  Barb is not into just playing tournaments for the prestige of winning.  She wants to play good games.  She finds that her group in Ottawa is so good that she doesn’t need to travel to get good competition.  So in the end, they didn’t go to the Nationals in Edmonton.
