(Newspaper staff works on Tuesday's edition on Monday, for example) With the number of clubs and organizations in The Villages; I can't imagine how the Daily Sun could possibly put in all of the scores, club news, happenings...
You are going to have to really lobby your cause with the sports editor, the executive editor and/or the publisher to have scores put in when they have space. Ask how you can present the information to make it the easiest for the sports department to get into the paper. Hope this helps. I have other suggestions if you are interested.

I think that the major point is why is there 2 full pages of softball coverage 5 days a week and Pickleball, which i can guarantee has many more participants on a daily basis, cant even get a single paragraph on the results of a monthly tournament. I believe that the powers that be at the Sun do not realize how big Pickleball is. Nothing wrong with softball but there should be some parady in how many participate or have and interest in what is going on in them.
