HHI's Hunting Wins 2 Brackets

     CHAMPIONS of the “BillyBob” -- Tiebreak Tone Continues Through Final Final Match

        HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- Given Friday and Saturday outcomes, it seemed appropriate that the 27th annual BillyBob Century Cup Doubles ended with a third-set super tiebreak Sunday at South Beach Racquet Club. Lori Bergmann/Keith Hutcheson captured the final walkoff point to win 10-8 and wrap up the combined-age doubles championships.

    A forecast of very damp and possibly severe weather altered the Saturday-Sunday match scheduling, but the wetness was confined to the Friday night player party beer tap. Matches -- many back-to-back for individual players -- rolled through unhindered and only seven matches remained for Finals Day. Three of the seven went to super tiebreaks.

 

    Hilton Head Islander Dwight Hunting was the only double winner from among the 17 contested divisions ... and it took one set tiebreak and two third-set match tiebreaks to pull that off. He and fellow Islander Bill McCourt won three matches to take the Men's 140 division over Victor Carlsen and Larry Hurrel 3-6, 6-4, 10-6. In the Mixed 140, Hunting teamed with HHI's Phyllis Spehlmann to win that level round robin, with the deciding match a 7-6(5), 1-6, 10-8 over Islanders Betsy Davison and Fred Young.

 

    The tournament format included men's, women's and mixed doubles in combined-age categories of 80, 100, 120, 140 and 150 years, with ratings restrictions in some of the levels. The best-of-three-set format using a 10-point Super Tiebreak for a third set was followed throughout the weekend. 

    Tournament Director Mike Sutcliffe had a draw of about 175 players. 

    Here are the complete results:

                HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- The HHI Professional Tennis League opened its second season tonight to standing-room-only hundreds of fans at South Beach Racquet Club.

Surprise AZ on 8.0 Level

     HHI's Port Royal Senior Moments Drop Opening Match on 2 Third-Set Tiebreaks, Then Lose 3-0 and 2-1 at Nationals

        SURPRISE AZ (TENNIS E-News via TennisLink) -- Hilton Head Island's Port Royal Senior Moments fell victim to a pair of third-set match tiebreaks in the Friday's opening round of Super Senior 60s national team championship. The Port Royals dropped a Friday afternoon match to New England/Tennis Rhode Island, then lost 2-1 today to Northern California in their final in-group match. 

    The Senior Moments were in the designated combo 8.0 level (it's straight 4.0 in SC and Southern). In all advanced championships, each of the 17 USTA sections decides whether to play ratings straight up (3.0, 3.5, 4.0 as in Southern) or to use combo levels (6.0, 7.0, 8.0). With Nationals using the combo format, it means that the SC and Southern 4.0 champions could have faced 4.5 players across the net, albeit competing with 3.5 partners. 

    Captained by Chris Iulo, the Moments' final match against the Californians ended their on-court schedule. Winning team in each group advanced to level semifinals this  afternoon. The championship final will be played Sunday morning.

May 11-13 Event

     7th Annual Bluffton Today Open Tournament Shifts to All-Junior Format

        BLUFFTON SC (TENNIS E-News) -- The 7th annual Bluffton Today Open is shifting to an all-junior format this year but keeping its prime goal: benefiting Public Tennis Inc. projects in Bluffton and needy youth tennis players. The tournament will be played in its usual calendar slot: May 11-13.

    In announcing the switch, Tournament Founder Robert Brown said: "Riding a trend of declining adult participation and growing youth involvement, we have decided to specialize in the Junior portion of the tournament". Rated adult categories had been played in the first six years of the annual championships.
    "All the special touches and extras that have made this tourney will remain," Brown added, "including the Adult/Child tournament-within-a-tournament on Saturday night, and we will probably start on Friday night at Bluffton High to accommodate increased numbers of the kids.

    "This event has always been about kids. Particularly special is the fact that we offer a Beginner Flight in addition to Intermediate so that all age and skill levels can have the tournament experience".    The reformatted BTO will include a novice flight. Perks for entrants include an original art commemorative T-shirt, goodie bag, Chic-Fil-A breakfast, prizes, guaranteed two rounds for each player, silent auction and racket demo.

    More information is available through Brown at 290-2833 or at www.blufftontennis.org.
