MIXED (XD) DOUBLES Compass Draw
SEPT 13-15
Both partners need to register. Please indicate the name of your partner with your registration. If you are looking for a partner, choose 'Partner wanted'. Registration will be limited to 16 teams.
It will be played as a compass draw, which means all level players are welcome. Every team will play 4 matches, provided we get a full draw. Play will commence Friday afternoon at 3 pm for those who can make it.
Ideally, everyone will have one match on Friday, two on Saturday and one on Sunday. There might be variations depending on player and court availability.
Players need to be available for the entire weekend with few exceptions.
Unavailability can be accepted for one of the following:
- Friday before 5 pm
- Saturday evening after 17:00
- Sunday morning before 11 am
Players should arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled playing time, as courts may be available.
Juniors and adults will be allowed to play. Scoring will be regular for the first two sets, a tiebreak to 10 will be played in place of a third set.
Snacks will be available all days. A social event with food (likely BBQ) will be held Sunday afternoon.
Balls
To be good to the planet, the club has decided to use the Wilson Trinity balls for all club play this season. They are used in our ball machine and e.g. Oak Bay Recreation uses them for all their classes, so they are becoming more common. If you have not played with them before and plan to play the tournament, try them out at the club or get a can yourself. They are a bit firmer than the pressurized balls, last longer and come in cardboard vs. plastic packaging.

Registration is open now closes on September 6th.
It will make organizing the tournament a lot easier, if all players register online, as it saves a lot of manual typing of your information. Some of you may have to create a Tennis BC account before you can register. Please use this link to help you understand how to do that:

Please note that there is a specific option for Tennis BC gold club members. Oak Bay is a gold club member, which means your membership is paid for and you will not be charged the Tennis BC membership fee when setting up your account, just follow the guidelines. If you run into difficulties, reach out to Serena Ly (sly@tennisbc.org ) or myself.
Help wanted
Like last year, we need helpers. We need helpers for e.g. staffing the desk as my backfill, take players to the courts, time warm-ups, sort balls and prizes etc.
Tournament participants and non-participants can help and we can work around individual schedules and availability.
Please contact me at c_daffner@yahoo.ca or president@oakbaytennisclub.org if you are available and willing to help!
