2009 marks the year that Sandpoint puts it's name on the "tennis map" with THE BLACK DIAMOND TENNIS INVITATIONAL...aptly dubbed, "The Most Beautiful Tennis Tournament in the Country!"  (Maybe the world).

FROM THE LIFTInvitations were sent out to the top players from the Inland Northwest with the idea that the first 24 to respond would get the "invite".  A few hours later the tournament draw was filled.  This event will be EPIC! 

fall festNot only can we look forward to great tennis, but the event dovetails with the Schweitzer Fall Fest & Music Festival...a celebration of another great summer on the Mountain.  It will be just a matter of weeks before the first snowfall graces the Schweitzer slopes and Sandpoint will be burning once again with SKI FEVER. While Fall Fest is technically a microbrew tasting celebration (plus wine tasting and soda tasting) there are events for the whole family...wall climbing, mountain biking, chairlift rides, bungee bouncing, hiking and FREEMUSIC!

logoTHE BLACK DIAMOND TENNIS INVITATIONAL will be front & center this year, however.  The tournament takes place on two courts placed in the center of the village between the two major high speed detachable chair lifts on Schweitzer's front side.  The format is unique:  

There will be a DRAFT by the 2 Team Captains on Friday (Sept. 4) late afternoon at Pucci's Pub on the hill, all are invited, including families! 

Team 1:  Kent Anderson, Captain (The Powder Pigs)
Team 2:  Duane Abromeit, Captain (The Snow Ghosts)
 
Captains will contact their selected team mates on Sat. Sept 5th regarding the partner assignments. 
 
Davis Cup Team Style format.  Each overall team will have 6 doubles teams, seeded in order.  The top 3 teams of each will play a round robin against the other team's top 3, as will the bottom 3 teams.  Awards, prizes and t-shirts!mountain courts

This year's inaugural sponsors include The Sandpoint Daily Bee, Pucci's Pub and Schweitzer Mountain Resort.  (Plus...Huge kudos to Steve Kirby of American West Bank!  Steve is the "brains" behind this event!).  While this will be serious tennis, we also intend to infuse some serious fun into the event.  ...just another reason why Sandpoint, Idaho is the place to be...in any season!
