Tennis players are:

Matches will be determined when a team wins six games.
Semi-final partners will be selected by a draw. The winners of the semi-finals will then play off for the championship of their divisions.
In addition to the tournament, there will be “beat the pro” and “fastest serve” contests.
Two courts will be available for practice and friendly matches if you are sitting out.
Delicious food and drinks will be served all evening. We hope that you will stay and watch the semi finals and finals if you are not playing.
Participants are required to raise a minimum of $1,000 through personal donations and corporate sponsorships.
The Top Fundraiser will have their name inscribed on the Harold Soupcoff Memorial Trophy and win a trip for two to the 2010 US Open in New York.
Proceeds from the event will support care and research at Baycrest, one of the world's leading cognitive science institutes, focusing on innovations that will help transform the journey of aging including treatments for those who suffer from Alzheimer’s and other cognitive disorders.
