We are excited about several new events this year. We will be holding a wheelchair singles event on Saturday 10/29. As far as we know, this will be the first time a wheelchair event has been offered at any Northwest tournament.
Another new event is the “Family Doubles”. Teams must be composed of two family members of different generations, for example, “mother/son” or “uncle/daughter-in-law”. “Family” can be by blood or marriage.
Like last year, we will hold final events in front of spectators on Sunday, October 30 at 2:00 pm. Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn will kick this off by “hitting the first ball” with Acting Deputy Superintendent of Seattle Parks and Recreation, Eric Friedli The exhibition will include some osome other surprise guests. Admission is $3 adults, $2 children. Just prior to the final events, there will be free coaching for kids age 7 – 16.
