Tournament Time

Jan 16, 2023

Tournament time is the best time.

I mean, truly. Especially if it's a round robin format, am I right? Guaranteed games against high level competition, meeting new friends, and watching some kick ass pickleball. Doesn't really get much better.

The days can be suuuuuper long though, especially at some of the bigger ones. Or so I hear. So when it comes to being prepared, we have a couple of tips to make those long days a little easier...

*Put a pair of extra socks in your bag. Sounds silly, but changing your wet, sweaty socks for dry ones can put a little extra pep in your step just when you need it.

*All the snacks. Pack ALL of the snacks. Although most tournaments will provide some food in some form, you may not like it. And you simply may want more...I usually do, lol. To be perfectly honest, I keep a large bag of trail mix in my bag all the time, cause like...it's good to be prepared? Jerky is always a good bet, in my opinion, as are the old standby of protein bars. But basically anything that you like, that provides some nutrition, and doesn't need to be refrigerated should do the trick.

*I usually try to keep an extra change of clothes in my bag on tournament day as well, just in case. You could get too sweaty and feel like you need to change, you could spill coffee all over yourself (I may or may not be speaking from experience on that one), or you may just decide after the first couple of games that you hate your shorts. Things happen.

*A massage gun is another fantastic thing to keep in your bag as well. You're gonna get tired, muscles are gonna get sore, and those things are magic.

*Along the same lines, some Ibuprofren and maybe some icy hot type stuff can also be helpful.

*I also keep deodorant, a hair brush, extra hair ties, lotion, and lip stuff in there. Cuase like, that shit matters.

Do you have any must haves? Drop a comment and let us know, we're always looking to up our tournament prep game.

Well, this is awka-awkward...

But we're nothing if not adaptable.

So, here's the thing. We had to change our name. That's it, okay byeeeeeee.

Just kidding. About the "that's it, okay byeeeeeee" part, anyway. The name change part is totes true. Turns out, we missed an "intent to use" trademark application that was filed all the way back in 2017 (good for them for having the dang foresight, am I right?) on the name "zero zero two", and has been kept up to date annually. Although it wasn't filed for jewelry, it was filed for apparel, and so we decided to just jump ship now and start over.

I'm not gonna lie. At first I was super duper bummed. I mean, I had spent all this time and money building out everything under the name "zero zero two". I initially felt pretty defeated. But then I put my big girl pants on. My big girl pants told me to woman the eff up and figure something else out. So I spent a few days bouncing ideas off of Aaron. He was super patient and helpful, as per usual, and after many attempts it finally hit me. "New Game". That was it. So much opportunity exists at the start of a new game (and that's usually what Aaron says on the first serve, as well). Or when you're tied up and it's a "new game" where it can go either way? Love that, too. And pickleball is a "new game" to many people. Also, pickleball is changing by the minute and becoming a "new game". Plus, the logo is super cute and less gendered, so when we possibly branch out into other categories (wink wink) it will look great there as well.

Anyhoo, thanks for listening. Hopefully this is it as far as name changes go, lol.

See ya on the courts,

Jamison
