SOCIAL "MIXER-UPPER" coming November 22



                         ATTENTION ALL PALM CREEK TENNIS PLAYERS!!!

On Saturday November 22^nd, we will be holding our first Social Mixer-upper designed to provide an opportunity for a tournament like playoff which pairs players of all levels and genders together.  Here’s how it will work:

1.      A sign-up sheet will be posted on Monday November 10^th.  There will only be space for 32 players in the format – so the first 32 to sign up will be the ones who participate – regardless of your level of play or your gender. 

2.      The event coordinator will be responsible for dividing the 32 players into 2 groups of 16 players.  The team leaders (16 players) will be selected from the most advanced players of the 32 with no regard for gender.  The other group of 16 is obviously those not placed in the first 16.

3.      On Saturday Nov 22^nd, at 12:45PM, each team leader will draw a name from the second group.  The name drawn is his/her partner for the day.  Teams can be all men, all women, or mixed depending on the draw.  Teams will be assured a minimum of 2 matches.

4.      Players are assigned their opening round courts, and play begins.  Each round is decided by the first team to win 6 games.  Games are scored as normal with the exception that second deuce is game point.  Winners of each round need to report results to the scorer’s table immediately after their match is completed.

5.      Second round play begins with a winner’s bracket and a consolation bracket as decided in the first round.  A playoff sheet will be posted at the scorer’s table providing instruction for next round pairing and court assignment.  The subsequent rounds are played out by the same format as the first round. 

6.      Play continues for each team until they either experience a loss (after the first round), or win their bracket.

7.      Winners of the final round of play for both winner’s bracket and consolation bracket will be decided by the first team to win 6 games by 2.

8.      High profile/valuable prizes will be awarded to the winners of both brackets.

Play will begin at 1:00 PM.  Please be at the courts by 12:45. 

Spectators and cheerleaders are welcomed!!!!!!!
