Alaska Racquetball News




Doubles Shuttle Saturday February 6, 2010


The Alaska Club EAST will be hosting a "Racquetball Doubles Shuttle" on Saturday February 6, There will be two sessions the first for Open/A Teams from 1-3pm and the B/C Teams from 3:30-5:30. This is the last chance to get in some practice with your partners before the State Doubles tournament, along with testing your endurance level. Players are required to show up 1 half hour prior to start time (12:30pm & 3pm) at 15 minutes after spots will be given away to stand by teams.


How do shuttles work?: Teams will be ranked according to the Alaska State Rankings with the highest ranking teams starting on the HIGHER NUMBERED COURTS and working down to the LOWER SEEDED PLAYERS on the LOWER NUMBERED COURTS. Once the Whistle is blown to begin play the players will play until the whistle is blown once again to stop play (7 Minutes Later), Winners will move UP 1 court toward the LOWER NUMBERED COURTS while Losers will move DOWN 1 court toward the HIGHER NUMBERED COURTS and both shall be ready to start the new game within 30 SECONDS. Play will continue for 2 Hours with the winners being determined by total number of MATCH WINS.


The cost of the Shuttle is $15 PER PERSON and is open to the first 8 teams to signup. We will payout to the top 3 teams, If 8 teams enter payout will be: 1st Place $100, 2nd Place $60, and 3rd Place $40. If your interested in playing send me an e-mail ASAP or call me 242-7470.
