March - April 1997: Volume 8, Number 2
EKTELON ADULT REGIONAL QUALIFIERS
-- Exclusive qualifying series, nationwide on APRIL 17-20
-- No events other than regionals will be sanctioned by the USRA on
this weekend
-- Players MUST pre-qualify for the 1997 Ektelon USRA 30th National
Singles Championships by competing in one of the following recognized
regional qualifiers.
-- EXCEPTION: Women age 45 and over, and men age 55 and over (as of May 21, 1997) are NOT required to pre-qualify for competition at a regional championship in order to compete at national singles. You'll probably still want to, however, since you can earn valuable ranking points and seeding consideration! The same goes for junior and intercollegiate regional participants ... if you have already played (before Singles) in a junior or intercollegiate regional to qualify for associated events, you don't have to re-qualify for national singles at an adult regional championship.
