9am Saturday morningThe format will be the usual double elimination. As this is "the season", it is a good idea to make reservations early. If you are planning to play, you must sign up by 6:00 p.m. on the eve of the tournament. Sign-up at the clubhouse, or contact Jef, phone 760-767-4536 or e-mail: jefbstc@gmail.com, or if all else fails, call the tennis center at 760-767-0577 the Friday afternoon before the tournament (definitely before 6 p.m.). The draw will be completed by around 9:00 P.M. and play will begin on Saturday, possibly as early as 8:00 a.m. After 9pm on the Friday before the tournament, Jef will try to upload the draw (including partners, start times, and opponents) to our website at www.borregotennis.com and click the tournament date. If you want us to call you with the start time, and don't have internet access, add your phone number with your name when you sign up, or, preferably, arrange to have someone you know check and contact you. Also, if you are just joining the club, please provide contact information, preferably an e-mail address, if you wish to receive a newsletter, and if you want to be listed in the club's directory. If you want to share and consume goodies, there will be a Goody Bar in the clubhouse on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
SATURDAY HAPPY HOUR/POTLUCKOur usual happy hour will be at 6:30pm Saturday, followed by the potluck at 7pm. If you have any gifts for door prizes, put them in the designated door prize area.
BORREGO NEWSWe got lucky getting the tournament in over the Halloween weekend, as Borrego got deluged with rain the following weekend. So far, it's looking like a good wildflower year in 2012.
OCTOBER 2011 TOURNAMENT Only 22 people signed up for this tournament due to various reasons: 1) some snowbirds still haven't landed in Borrego, 2) some of us are still travelling, 3) some of us were in ill health - mostly due to a flu circulating in California now, and 4) a few have actually dropped out, due to not getting good pairings in previous tournament draws. But due to the low turnout, the tournament organizers opted for a round robin format, which allowed everyone to play an average of 5 matches! Normally, the average person plays only 3 or 4 matches. With temperatures exceeding 90°F on Saturday, this was verging on too much tennis for some. A highlight of the weekend was a costume contest and unique scavenger hunt organized by Peg Lieb Saturday night after the potluck. With all lights off, all the participants were handed a list of objects that were placed on courts 3 and 4 and camoflaged. The object was to find as many of these and record where they were hidden. Sandi and Curt won this contest, finding 18 of 20.
