2010 Grand Street Campus Tennis Tournament June 1-7

TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SIGN-UP!! DEADLINE: Thurs. May 20

The Fourth Annual Grand Street Campus Tennis Tournament will be held this June 1 through June 7 at the Bernard McIlwain Tennis Center at the Grand Street Campus in Brooklyn, New York. This year's tournament promises to be the most competitive ever and will mark the first time that qualifying GSC students will be allowed to participate. The tournament coordinators will be Max Estenger (EBT) and Corey McFarlane (Progress). Corey, who is the Lady Wolves Varsity Basketball coach has also been recently named the coach for the 2010 Lady Wolves GSC Varsity Tennis team. We are also hoping that Marc Kollerer will once again coordinate the consolation bracket.

The purpose of the tournament is to promote tennis at the GSC, camaraderie among GSC staff, students and to identify the two best tennis players at the Grand Street Campus. In addition to allowing perhaps 2 or 3 qualified students to participate, this year's tournament will also have a slightly different draw from previous years. The tournament has grown from 8 players in 2007, to 12 in 2008, and then last year's four round 16 player draw. For the 2010 edition, we will seed only four players--the rest of the player's names will be randomly drawn to fill out the brackets. Theoretically, the #1 seed could play the 5th best player in the first round or the 16th best or someone in between. We will still separate the top four seeds in order to insure that they do not meet until at least the semifinals. All are welcome to come in May to try to qualify for a top four seeding, otherwise we will place you in the general draw.
