Come Out for the Mixed Doubles Tournament 8 am Tuesday
Each of the three brackets of 7-8 teams will play on two dedicated courts. There will be 14 matches in each bracket to get to the 1-2-3 place finishers. Upper bracket matches will be best of three games to 11, win by two. Losers bracket will be one rally-scoring game to 15, win by 1. Spectators and players waiting to play can be inside the fence, but no chairs, bags or drinks will be allowed inside. (See below.)
All 8 Marshdale Courts Opened to More Than 65 Players Today
For the first time all 8 courts were open to players. New nets-on-wheels on the four courts on the tennis side meant chairs, bags, drinks and those with paddles down had to go outside the fence. it’s expected that EPRD will release new open play times - splitting days with tennis players - in the next week.
Now that we play on the tennis side and want to protect the surface of our four courts, chairs will not be allowed inside the fence. Let’s respect our courts and keep chairs, bags and drinks off the court surface. Today we had an open soda can kicked over, spilling the bubbly sweet stuff for players to walk in and balls to splash in. Seriously, nobody wants to play with sticky balls.
