Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
After an extended period of "non-activity" due to
COVID, the Tennis Club was finally able to seize a window
of opportunity to hold an intra-club doubles tennis
tournament in 2020. It was a very much needed event to
keep the sanity of we tennis enthusiasts in check.
On this very nice sunny Saturday in November, 20
club members participated in a competitive yet fun
tournament. All the COVID safety protocols – masking
and social distancing – were adhered to by all participants.
Each player was provided a new can of balls to be used
and touched only by that particular player. Only the four
competing players were allowed inside the court during
each match. In other words, every precaution was taken
to ensure the safety of everyone involved throughout the tournament.
Ten teams consisting of two players each were matched up from the
20 club members who signed up. In order that the competition would be
as fair as possible, the team pairings were done based on the skill level
of each player. The 10 teams were divided into two ladders of five teams
each. Each team would play the other four teams in their own ladder in
a round-robin format. The team in each ladder with the highest number
of games won would then compete in a final match for the championship.
With meticulously detailed planning, the event ran without a hitch and
was a total success. All players enjoyed a great day of tennis.
Result of the tournament is as follows:
Champions – Bernadette Chance/John Betham
Runners-up – Lizzie Gallegos/JV Vallejo
2nd Place Finishers in each Ladder – Bernadette Martin/Alex
Castanon; Laura Emerson/Larry Martin
Congratulations, guys and gals!
Let's all hope the pandemic situation keeps improving so we can hold
more fun activities and/or similar events in 2021.
Stay safe and see you all at The Courts!
