Tennis Raleigh | Raleigh - Cary - Durham Tennis League

Four Ways to Qualify (By Invitation Only):

(1) Players who have won their respective season playoffs receive a playing entry into the Tourney.

(2) Players on the Top 100 all-time Legacy Wins in the Tennis League Network.

(3) Any player that refers 5 or more players in 2010.

(4) Players who attended the 2009 National Tourney.

Weekend Progam:

• Friday Noon: 1st set of matches (Each player plays 2 10-game pro sets matches)
• Friday Dinner: Will hit a cool local restaurant
• Saturday Morning: Mini-Division matches will continue (Play another 2 10-game pro set matches)
• Saturday Day: League sponsored Buffet
• Saturday Dinner: Will hit a 2nd cool local restaurant
• Tournament Sunday: For the qualifiers will be a single elimination tourney

A couple of the Championship matches will be played on Center Court!

Skill Levels:

Men's Advanced/Elite 4.0-4.5
Competitive 3.5
Skilled/Recreational 2.5-3.0
Women's Competitive 3.5
Women's Skilled/Recreational 2.5-3.0.

Tournament Format:

The event will be run primarily on Hard courts, but our agreement with Crandon could include some clay courts. Players will be grouped in mini-divisions of 5 players. A round-robin will be played using an 10 pro set format (First to win 10 games). Depending on the number of participants the top performers will qualify for championship Sunday and the single elimination tourney.

Costs:

There will be an entry fee for the tourney, we will try to keep it as low as possible and currently project it will be about $85 per player. If we can get a sponsor or two to help cover the costs we will decrease the entry fee. We will guarantee prizes for the 2010 tourney.

Travel Arrangements:

Travel arrangements will be covered by the players, not by Tennis League Network, LLC. We will look into blocking off rooms at the Conrad Hotel again.

Ultimate Goal:

The tennis should be quite exciting, the players should be amp'd up for the tourney.
