Three
Ways To Qualify:
(1) Players who have won their respective season
playoffs. Your entry fee into the Tourney is free. Deadline
to accept your entry is Sept. 22nd.
(2) We will have 30-40 at-large bids to passionate
players who didn't win a championship. These spots will be rewarded
by Tennis League Network senority. Players in the top 100 for
wins and have played a 2009 season will be offered these spots
first. At-large entry fee currently is $100, but will hopefully
decrease as we get sponsors for the event. Deadline to accept
your At-large entry is Sept 24th.
(3) We've received word that we can get more courts than originally scheduled for.
If you have 15 or more legacy wins you'll probably be able to attend. These spots will go for $150/each.
But, we won't know for certain until mid-September. If you are interested, send
us an email
and we'll put you on the waiting list.
Skill Levels:
Men's Advanced/Elite 4.0-4.5, Competitive 3.5, Skilled/Recreational
Divisions 2.5-3.0 & Women's Competitive 3.5 and Skilled/Recreational
Divisions 2.5-3.0. Women's Advanced 4.0+ will only be run if
we get enough of the champions to commit to the event. Doubles
Divisions will not have a Championship run for them.
Current Weekend Progam:
• Friday Noon: 1st set of matches
• Saturday Morning: Mini-Division matches will continue
• Saturday Afternoon: Tournament tennis will take place
• Sat. evening: League sponsored Buffet
• Sunday Day: Tournament concludes by 3 PM.
Rumor has it championship matches could be played on
Center Court!
Tournament Format:
The event will be primarily run on Hard courts, but our agreement
with Crandon could include some clay courts for the event. Players
will be grouped in mini-divisions of 4 players. A round-robin
will be played using 8 pro set format (First to win 8 games).
Top two, three or all 4 players from each mini-division will
move onto a single elimination tourney with other same skill
level mini-division qualifiers. The # of qualifiers will be
determined when we know the total # of participants for the
event.
Travel Arrangements:
Travel arrangements will be covered by the players,
not by Tennis League Network, LLC. We will block off
hotel rooms at discounted rates for participants.
We also will look for National sponsors to offset the majority of
the costs and to sweeten the prizes and reduce the costs for
the participants.
Ultimate Goal:
The tennis should be quite exciting, the players should be amp'd
up for the tourney and if the sponsors arrive it should be well
worth the trip.
