Bill Segal "No Frills" Doubles

Who the Heck is Bill Segal and Why is a Tournament Named for Him?

Bill Segal played racquetball beyond his 81st birthday. On June 15, 2006 he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Bill underwent surgery at Johns Hopkins. Despite the finest care he passed on January 15, 2007. Had the cancer been found earlier, Bill might still be playing racquetball. Donations from this tournament will help find a cure for this terrible disease.


From the Tournament Director:

There is ZERO play on Friday, the entry fee is very LOW and you have a GUARANTEE of multiple matches (see below), PLUS there is PRIZE MONEY in EVERY division, as well as the usual Concourse hospitality. Play will begin early on Saturday, and due to the number of matches with the round robin format we will NOT accept special requests. For more specific entry information, go here.

Due to the limit on entries, we will only hold spots for pre-paid teams. (Basically, this means that if you have not pre-paid as a TEAM, then you have not reserved a place). Please remember that each division has an entry limit. So, once a division is full, then it is closed, regardless of the published deadline.

Guarantee: Multiple matches: We are using a modified round robin format. Depending of the number of entries, in some events, teams might be divided into two separate groups. Group 1 teams will play each other in a round robin format and Group 2 teams will do the same.

Overall winners for these events will then be determined by a single elimination draw formed as follows: the team finishing first in Group 1 will play the second place team from Group 2 and the team finishing first in Group 2 will play the second place team from Group 1. The winners of each of these matches will then play in the finals.
