In total we had 32 teams register for the Doubles Tournament. The tournament had a handicap system to allow non-tennis players the chance to play off fairly against the more experienced players but at the same time allowed for the more experienced players to challenge themselves. We had an awesome diverse background of players on the day from the young to old and experienced to non-experienced which made the tournament a very enjoyable experience.
After round 2 of our matches we had an intermission where we held fun tennis games. This included prisoner which is a common fun game that is made up of 6x people with the objective of eliminating the opposing team. We had 4x teams sign up for this intermission game. Along with this game we ran 2x exhibition matches where our champions Ruby Pierre and Maka Maui took the court to challenge anyone who could win 3 straight points against them. It made for great entertainment.
