Championships

PA is involved with several International Tournaments - FIPJP Championships, Oceania Confederation Championships and Trans Tasman Championships. We regularly take part in other tournaments involving overseas teams.

PA also runs its own National Championships, four Events - Singles, Mixed Doubles, Doubles and Triples - across four Divisions - Open, Women's, Open 60+ and Women's 60+. These are run at Easter each year and hosted by a Club that has bid for the event for a three-year period. In addition, PA runs an annual Shooting Competition. These competitions are individual-based.

PA also runs a State-based competition at a Club that bids for the event on an annual basis - the Interstate Challenge - to find the best State in the country.

For videos of various finals over recent years, you can go to our YouTube channel.
