DSOBA Tennis Tournament and Luncheon

                                           DSOBA TENNIS TOURNAMENT AND LUNCHEON
                                                      September 6-7 and 13-14, 2014

Dear DSOBA Members,

This year’s tennis tournament is finally here.

In order to make the event more enjoyable, to accommodate more players of different levels, we have decided to depart from our previous format:

• The Tournament will be held in September in hope for more amenable weather conditions
• Taking advantage of the newly resurfaced flood-lit courts, all matches this year will be played at DBS
• Instead of the Cup and Plate events, we would like to introduce an open category and a “B or below” player category. We will decide on the final category/ format choices depending on the number and mix of participants. We hope this will encourage more players from different levels to participate
• A lunch will be offered on September 6 for players, families or anyone at all who just want to enjoy the day with us

Details of the event are as follows:

Please complete the enclosed entry form and send back to us ASAP – as we need the information to decide on the format and scheduling. Payment for the tennis tournament will be accepted at a later date once the formats are confirmed. Payments for the luncheon will be accepted with this application.

As further information regarding format and schedule of play will be announced by email to all participants, please provide us with your email address and mobile contact.

Sincerely yours,

DSOBA Sports Committee Chairman, Edwin Morris (’90)
Joseph Wan (’86)
