Tennis Tournament - Saturday, June 1st, 2013 in Palo Alto, CA

ETF BAFA is inviting you and your family to participate in the doubles tennis tournament on Saturday, June 1st, 2013 at Cubberley Tennis Courts in Palo Alto - at noon. The address is: 4000 Middlefield Rd, Palo Alto CA, 94306.

This is a family event: Participants range from non-players to intermediate, including children - please bring everyone!

The format of this doubles tournament is chosen accordingly: each doubles match lasts for 10-15 minutes. We then record the match score for each player individually, shuffle players into new teams, and start over: play for another 10 minutes, and so on.This way, each time you will play with a different partner and against a different team for about 10-15 minutes. The tournament lasts up to 2-3 hours, including water-breaks and about 8 breaks (one after each and every match). You may bail out earlier, but usually nobody does - because it's fun! At the tournament end, for each and every participant we add score from all her/his 10-minute doubles matches, and call winners. Winners will receive a certificate.

These are the participants from last year tournament that was organized at the same location.

Please RSVP to etfbafa@gmail.com so we can secure the right number of tennis courts for all of us.

See you there!

Видимо се на тенису...

Your sincerely,
ETF BAFA Board of Directors
