For 2023 we have our hallmark Ladies Doubles Tournament plus we’re adding Pickleball in the morning! You can play the following combinations based on schedule:
- Ladies Doubles Only
- Pickleball Only
- Ladies Doubles + Pickleball
Due to low interest, there will be no Mixed Doubles in 2023.
Tennis Tournament
We’ll have a fun round robin style event where duo’s keep track of their won games. Each team will play each of the other teams in their flight.
You’ll play 5 matches of 5 games each (20 games total)
Ladies Tournament – Ages 18 and up
We will have up to four flights of doubles duos competing within your flight for advancement.
Tentatively: Flight 1 & 2 – 9 AM Start // Flight 3 & 4 – 11 AM Start
If you have a preference or conflict, please send an email to [email protected] so we can try to accommodate your preferred flight time.
The top 2 teams from each flight will advance to a single elimination championship bracket taking place around 1 PM: Semifinals and Finals
Tennis Scoring
Scoring will be traditional with one deuce only to move along play. What this means is if you get to 40-40 you will play a traditional deuce point to get to Ad-in or Ad-Out. If the Advantage team wins, the game is over. However, if you get back to a 2nd deuce, it will then become sudden death. The receiving team selects who they would like to receive the ball. The point is played out and the winner of that point wins the game.
Each of your matches will be 5 games, so your score might be 5-0, 4-1, 3-2, etc. Keep track of your score and report in between each round.
Flights will be separated between courts 1-3, or 4-5 to make it easier to shift around and keep play moving along.
Pickleball Tournament
We’ll be utilizing the 6 brand new pickleball courts!
Round Robin play will occur.
The top 4 winning teams will advance to a single elimination championship bracket taking place around 10:30 AM: Semifinals and Finals
The Fun
We’ll have a brief opening ceremony to explain rules before each session and then we’ll kick off play.
Between the two sessions, around 10:45 AM we’ll have a special presentation with Seymour Pink and honor our survivor players.
Pickleball will be available on side courts during the afternoon!
Drinks & light food will be provided.
Every participant gets a small gift.
Raffle tickets are available for purchase at the event.
All entries will earn a door prize entry.
Wear your pink!
The Night Before
New for 2023 we are kicking off Rally for Pink on Saturday night October 7th with a pre-event dinner at Edgewood, included in your ticket price.
We’ll email registrants separately asking for dinner RSVP as we get closer to the event, and you’ll be able to add on guests for a nominal fee.
The courts will be open for practice, each attendee will get 1 drink ticket and a cash bar will otherwise be available. Mingle with your friends and fellow competitors as we celebrate Pinktober and the fight against breast cancer.
Registration
We’ve set up the registration form so that one person can complete it for their duo.
If you don’t have a partner lined up please email us at [email protected] or reach out on Facebook so that we can help you pair up PRIOR to signing up.
Registration closes Monday, October 2nd.
Awards
The top doubles team and finalist doubles team will earn trophies for Ladies Tennis & Pickle.
Inclement Weather
Let’s pray for a BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY!
We’ll have to plan around Post University tennis schedules for a rain date otherwise.
