The final LRTTC monthly tournament of 2015 was held Saturday, December 19, at the Jim Dailey Fitness & Aquatic Center with predictable results from the six player giant round robin. The top three seeds; Mike, Primal and Siva; placed first, second and third, though Jeff gave Siva a tough run in their first round five-gamer. Jeff also won the “most bang for his buck” award playing a total of 20 games in five matches. The field was rounded out by Charlie and Suresh
The event was adequately managed by Mark (who would have played but was infirmed) in his role as Co-director of tournaments. The next monthly tournament will be held January 16, and will be a best of three games to 21 handicap event using USATT ratings.
The tournament photos and results from RatingsCentral.com will be posted later.

Overview
Our first monthly tournament at the Jim Dailey Fitness and Aquatic Center (JDFAC) was held on Saturday, September 19, 2015. We had 11 players signed up for Open Singles, 2 doubles teams, and 2 players who competed in a Novice Singles final.
Congratulations to all of the participants and the winners! Thanks for the JDFAC staff for helping make it an exceptional tournament, especially Grant, Ryan, Josh, Christian, an Ms. Dunbar who did a great job of handling the front desk.
After the initial Open Singles Round Robin, players advanced to a second stage round robin for Open Singles, A Singles, and B Singles. This format is similar to the format used at the Arkansas Open which will be held next Saturday, September 26, 2015 at UALR. (The entry deadline for the Arkansas Open is Wednesday, September 23, 2015. If anyone wants to enter, come to LRTTC on Tuesday night from 6:00 to 8:30 pm and I will have entry forms available that I will turn into Eugene Atha on Wednesday. Bring payment for entry and rating fee!)
Drawings for free gear were held and the winners were: John Falco, Mickey Johnson, and Mugimane Manjanatha. They chose from an Xiom racket case, Xiom towel, and cleaning kit.
Novice Singles
The Novice Singles was the first novice event at our monthly tournament. The finalists were Mickey Johnson and Sam Ketcheside. Because our new location at JDFAC brings more visibility to other fitness-minded people at the center, we are hoping to grow our novice event participation.
The Novice final match was a great competition between Mickey and Sam. Although Sam won the match by 3 games to 0, Mickey scored 6 and 8 points in the first and third games, Sam claimed the second game by a score of 13-11.
Open Doubles
The Open Doubles final saw John Falco and Shelby Barone defeat Mike Lauro and Mark Taylor by 3 games to 1.
Open-A-B Singles Round Robin
The initial round robin of the Open Singles saw a 3-way tie in Group 2 for first place in the group. Ben Phillips, Louis Vance, and Charlie Brooks all had 2-1 records and 5 match points. The tie break method resulted in Charlie advancing to the Open Singles by a 1 game margin.
Matches going the distance to the 5th and final game included:
- Ben over Louis, 11-5 in final game.
