IA BG 18s-12s District Championship #1 // Futures Qualifier #3 // Ankeny- Coach Hoefle Memorial

There will be two ways in which a team will be placed in the doubles draw. (1) If both members of the team sign up with each other online, they will be placed on the draw. (2) After on-line registration closes, a team may be placed in the draw by contacting the tournament director by email (information above) with your partner's information by 12:00 on the Monday before the start of the tournament (June 6th for this event). BOTH partners need to contact the tournament director via email to verify the team. If both players do not contact the tournament director by the deadline, the team will not be placed in the draw.


If you DO NOT have a partner, please email the tournament director by the above deadline (12:00 on Monday before the start of the tournament) and let them know you would like to be placed into the blind draw. The tournament director will then do his best to make sure everyone has a partner.

This tournament was formerly the 'Hoefle Memorial Junior Tournament" and this year it has been selected to be 1 of the 4 Iowa District Designated Championships. The 4 District Designated Championships are important for players to play because of the LEVEL 4 Missouri Valley Points associated with these events. OTHER CHANGES you will see in the District Designated Championships: Entry deadline is 10 days prior to event, consistent entry fees that include doubles, draw formats will be the same, and officials will be on site.
Iowa District Designated Championships:
June 10 - 12 Iowa District Championship #1 - Ankeny Coach Hoefle Memorial
July 19 - 22 Iowa District Championship #2 - Baird Iowa Open
August 5 - 7 Iowa District Championship #3 - Midlands- Iowa City
December 2 - 4 Iowa District Championship #4 - Klotz Winter- Iowa City

This tournament is open to ALL Iowa District Residents. Some people are scared away because of the "District Designated Championship" name thinking they may not be good enough to play this event, but that is not the case. There will be many different levels of players in these draws and as a coach I encourage all my players to participate in this event. All players will receive a minimum of 4 matches (2 singles & 2 doubles).

All Singles Matches: Best of three tiebreak sets with a 10 point tiebreaker in lieu of the third set.
Doubles: 8 game pro-set, with a 10 point tiebreak if the score reaches 8-all.

Singles: Full feed-in thru the Quarters.
Doubles: First match loser consolation

The Prarie Ridge Sports Complex is going to be very busy this weekend with a softball and soccer tournament. Parking will be difficult so please plan ahead and come early for your matches.

Section level 4, Iowa level 1

This event is also the Qualifier event for the Missouri Valley Futures #3 located in St. Louis (12's & 14's) and Oklahoma (16's & 18's).
