Notes
Parking...This is an important issue: Please do not come to the
front of the museum. Instead, travel on Memorial Blvd - located
adjacent to Belluvue. Park on Memorial right next to the 3 indoor
courts and the side areas on Memorial. This will help as there
would be confusion.
All events are "Designated" for ranking purposes.
The 55, 65, 75, 80, and 85 events are offered for men only.
Due to the possibility of rain, we would like to get as many
matches played as possible on Thursday. We will not start the 50's
& 55's until Friday. If we have rain during the tournament, we
may need to play matches on hard court surfaces.
The notes below will be updated as information becomes available -
please check back!
All entrants will receive "goody" bag with prizes and Slams
booklet.
Players will be provided free Hall of Fame Museum passes with a
discount offered for non-player family and friends.
Party with food will be held on Friday at 6PM on the East
Porch.
Recommended hotels with player discounts (see
http://www.neseniortennis.org/Slams/TennisHallofFame1.jpg). Note
that rooms will be released to the public on July 21 so make
reservations early!).
Parking is tight near the courts. We are working on helping the
players TBD.
Practice courts are available for registered players at a
discounted rate of $50/hour for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
before the tournament.
Consolation format will be regular scoring except a 10-Point Match
Tiebreak will be used in lieu of a full 3rd set. For very bad
weather, other abbreviated formats may be used and severe weather
could lead to cancellation of the consolation. Three indoor courts
are available as backup.
All singles matches will use single sticks.
There will be playoffs for 3rd and 4th places, depending on the
size of the draw.
Number of entries will be limited to make sure the courts are not
overloaded. The order of selection for unranked players is at the
discretion of the tournament director. If there are insufficient
registrants in any event, registrants may be requested to play in a
different division.
Prizes for winners and finalists will be Slam medallions (gold
& silver) modeled on national gold/silver balls. Consolation
winners will receive other prizes.
