LIV STRONG: PADDLE BATTLE

The Paddle Battle is an 8‑hour, level‑based fundraiser running 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, where players rotate through 2‑hour waves in a high‑energy, timed‑match marathon. Levels stay fully separate, each court operates as its own team for the entire event (even when multiple courts share the same level), and captains run the schedule and track all scoring. Play is continuous, the action never stops, and every participant receives a tournament t‑shirt. 100% of proceeds go directly to Liv Zerwas and her recovery.
