Adult Tournament Finals Day

The Annual Adult Tournament is underway with great success in all categories: Men’s & Women’s Singles, Men’s & Women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles. Please save the date Saturday October 1 (with Sunday October 2 as a rain date) to come out and watch the finals. Stay tuned for details surrounding snacks for our fans in the stands.

Wanless Cup

We are pleased to announce that we will run the Wanless Cup again this year. While the 2021 version of this event was primarily aimed at replacing inter-club adult leagues, the Wanless Cup 2022 will focus on competitive play for all members with and without teams experience.

The league will run on weeknights for two weeks starting October 3, ending October 14 with the finals played on the morning of October 15. We anticipate having teams with players paired by similar skill levels playing against each other in a Fast4 format.

• Fast4 enables play to proceed quickly as there are no advantage scores (a single deciding point is played at 40-40), first to 4 games wins the set and a 12 point tiebreaker (first to 7 with a 2 point spread) will be played when a set is tied at three games all.
• All matches are best two out of three sets, with a super tiebreaker (first to 10 points with a 2 point spread) in place of a full third set. Time is limited to one hour for each match. Each set won will count as one point for the team.
• If numbers permit, we will field all mixed doubles lines, aligning playing levels for a positive, competitive match experience. We anticipate that there will be multiple lines played each night.
• After a round-robin between teams, the top four teams (based on points won) will participate in the playoffs. Ties will be broken based on total games won. Semi-final draws will be 1st vs. 4th, 2nd vs 3rd.

Registration is required. It is expected that if you sign up that you commit to playing all assigned matches which will be scheduled in the evenings. Playing level is 3.0+ . You will be assigned to a team based on your relative playing level. If you would only like to be a spare, please indicate that on the form. We will not be taking requests for teammates.

If interest exceeds the number of spots we can accommodate, we will employ a first-come-first-served approach of qualified players to form the teams. All other qualified registrants will be placed on a spare list that all teams can draw on.

Sunday Night Adult Round Robin (replaces Friday night program)

Starting September 25, we will be moving the Adult Doubles Round Robin from Friday night to Sunday evening. Two courts will be reserved at 6:00 and 7:00 PM for round robin play. Intermediate members (self rating of 3.0 – 3.5) are encouraged to register for 6 PM play, advanced players (self rating of 4.0 – 4.5) should register for 7 PM play. Spots are available on a first-registered, first served-basis. There is no charge for the round robin matches.

For more information and weekly registration, go to our website.
