Waiting for the annular eclipse. Roswell is perfect location.

In love with the game As a child, Sharon Butler admired dragonflies. On Tuesday, she wore a dragonfly necklace to the New Mexico Military Institute to watch her friends play tennis, another of Butler's enthusiasms.

Regional Scramble Format

All players must sign-up in advance of the event. The cut-off is October 9.
The format is based on a draw. There will be two flights, a beginner (2.5-3.0) flight and an intermediate + flight (3.5 and above). Players will only play within their flight. Each player will be given a draw/score sheet indicating which player they are and what courts they will play on.
Each match will be 4 games. After every match, players will be assigned new partners based on the draw.
All players will keep track of their total games won and lost.
The draw will be constructed to give everyone the same number of games to play.
Championship and Finalist trophies will be awarded to the man and woman in each flight that won the most games.
