Club Championships 2023

Mixed Doubles Recap:

Our third and final weekend of tournament play finished strong, and was a great way to end the season. We've had such a fun time running our club championships, especially with this new format, as everything has run smoothly with lots of great action. The action of the Mixed Doubles did not disappoint, and neither did the weather! The Mixed A's held a round robin with three teams playing for the win and the Mixed B's had eight teams, split into two draws and run as a round robin to determine the finalists. 

• Mixed Doubles A: James Knittle and Giulia Eliason took the title against Mason Dwinell and Deb Schoepke
• Mixed Doubles B: Ethan and Kristy Carlson won the title against Brian Cardello and Karin Akins 

Doubles Recap:

The Doubles Tournament, held on Sunday, 8/20 was another successful event enjoyed by all with plenty of competitive action. After a rainy day on Saturday, the event moved to the Sunday rain date and saw beautiful sunny weather and mild temperatures.

The Men's A Division, with a total of 8 teams, was split into two draws of four teams to run as a round robin. The winner of each round robin advanced to the finals as determined by total number of games. While the Women's A Division went straight to the championship match with only two teams entered, the Women's B Division held a competitive round robin amongst the three teams entered. Two of the three matches went to a tie-breaker before a winner emerged! The Men's B Division, with three teams, also played as in a round robin format. Here are the results: 

• Women's A: Julia Biedermann and Charlotte Stevens emerged victorious 7-6, 6-3 against Erika Furey and Alison Estey
• Men's A: Ted Thorndike and Mike Carey nabbed the big win 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 in a heated match against Tom Sequist and Andy Glanz
