LET YOUR RACQUET DO THE TALKING

2013 Singles Club Championships – Apr 1 – May 2

Last year, we begged for an answer to the question of who could stop the Haggarty – Logan dominance. Pablo Buitron answered the call and we crowned a new champion. Now the question asked is who can stop Pablo? Or at least seriously challenge him. Certainly, Peter Logan is still a genuine contender, and could Kirk Haggarty be if he hopefully plays. But what about Jed Elley? Can John Rakolta step it up? It will be an interesting Open draw that will unfold.

There is of course much interest in the other 6 categories too. Elliot Shafer is on the prowl for a 3.5 title and should be battling it out hard with the likes of Sante, Josh Slominski, Tom Fabbri and a handful of others. Tom MacEachern is no doubt looking at a 3.0 win after taking the 2.5 DAC Classic division, but there are many contenders across the board, too numerous to list them all.

Categories are: 2.5 – 3.0 – 3.5 – 4.0 – 4.5 – 5.0 – 5.5

Here is what you need to take note of if you plan on challenging for a sacred title!
  • You can only enter ONE division. Choose carefully.
  • Tell which division you would like to enter. If I feel you are too low, I will move you up anyway.
  • All matches are best of 5 games to 11 scoring. There is no consolation draw.
  • Each match will have a deadline for completion. It is your responsibility to have the match completed by that deadline. Failure to do so may result in defaults being awarded.
  • If you are away for a significant amount of time during the month of April, then please do not enter. The event cannot fall behind as we wait for your return!
  • ALL finals must be played on Thursday, May 2. If you plan on making the final, please block off this date in your calendar.
Registration deadline is March 26. There is no cost to play the event, but you MUST be a Blackballer. May 2 is also the night of the awards dividend – one of the biggest nights of the year for the court sports. You should make it a priority to attend!
