I'm excited to announce the annual Albany Tennis Club Championships, which will run from Saturday, August 29th to Sunday, September 13th. The ATC has a long history of exciting tournament play, and this year promises to continue the tradition!
This is a schedule-your-own match tournament that features the following seven exciting draws:
- Women's Singles
- Men's Singles
- Women's Doubles
- Men's Doubles
- Mixed Doubles
- Women's 60 & Older Doubles
- Men's 65 & Older Doubles
Here is important information (please read carefully):
-Once the draws are released, players schedule their matches directly with their opponents.
-All matches are best two-out-three sets, regular scoring, with a 10-point match tiebreaker in lieu of a third, no exceptions. For the finals only, players will play out third sets as needed.
-Single elimination (you lose, you're out)
-This event is limited to ATC members. Monthly members are eligible provided their membership is current through the tournament dates.
-The plan is to hold all semifinal and final matches on Saturday, September 12th and Sunday 13th.
-Players may play in a maximum of two draws.
-The tournament director (me) and assistant director (Nicholas Demarco) reserve the right to cap draw sizes as needed.
In order to sign up, you must use the sign-up links below
(registration closes Tuesday at 5 PM):
*Please only sign up for the tournament if you have substantial availability to play multiple rounds of matches between August 29th and September 13th, and on both 9/12 & 9/13. Also carefully consider whether you have the availability and energy to play in more than one draw, which may involve playing multiple matches in a single day.*
Here is an important update to the tournament schedule:
As Rosh Hashanah falls on September 11th and 12th, there will be alternate dates available for the semifinals and finals for those who prefer, including but not limited to September 22nd and September 23rd. More generally, once players reach the semifinals and finals, there is some flexibility in terms of scheduling the final matches. Thank you!
