APP Chicago Week

Gina talks about her APP week and Howard joins her at APP on Saturday.

1. APP Chicago
2. Volunteering at APP
3. Third Shot Rant: poorly organized amateur brackets
4. Watching pro pickleball
5. Closing remarks: please rate and follow our show!

Notes:  We were told that the APP entry fee was approximately $145 per person and that APP did not refund the fee for the 3.5 women's doubles bracket we discussed but did offer to waive the spectator fee.
