Tournament Forms
I scoured the Internet looking for draw and score sheets. When I
couldn't find one that was acceptable I created my own.

Referee
Score sheet (2 sheets per page)
When I played my first tournament, I used a similar score sheet and was pretty
impressed with it's functionality. Basically a referee would turn the
score sheet around for the person serving and record the player's
score just by ticking off a number, so you know who was serving at all
times and didn't need to remember the score. Can also track timeouts,
appeals, and the results of five games on one form.

Draw
Sheet of 16 (Standard Single Elimination)
Uses Adobe Acrobat form fields for title, subtitle, and all the
players names for each match. So the idea is to start out with the
first round already typed in. Then you can update the rest after the
tournament and save the form data or create a fixed PDF file or image.

Picture Galleries
I think it is really important to capture our time playing racquetball,
so years from now we can look back and think about our friends and our time
together. Anyway this section started in 2003 with Rich's Racquetball Ladder
Tournament.
Tournament Journals
Basically an account of each major tournament I've attended. Sometimes I
discover something about myself others just belly aching over a loss. I try
to capture the feel of the tournament both in words and with pictures.

2002-2003
State Singles at Classic in Fairfield NJ
My first tournament, my God was I nervous and it showed on everything
I did. I played C and D and was eliminated from both in the first
round. Did not take that many pictures and many of those were not
great. |

2003-2004
Halloween Havoc at Classic in Fairfield NJ
A better tournament where my wife and first-timer Leigh Marshall came
along. Nerves were more under control and even some anger showed
through instead of plain fear. It was a dreaded round robin tournament
so got some exposure to different players but 5th in points. |

2003-2004 Rutgers
Cook/Douglas Inter. Doubles
Our first win as a partnership, Tony and I won after
a grueling tie breaker. The game plan format was introduced and after
every match we revised it for the playoffs. I also write about my
singles experience and how I had to lose to win. Not a bad read. |

2003-2004 State Doubles at
Classic in Fairfield NJ
Under construction, but the fear is almost gone this time replaced
with aggression and fighting back for points. Tony Pochesci was again
my partner and we did ok in C's. |

2003-2004 State Singles at
Classic in Fairfield NJ
Under construction, I've come full circle at my second State Singles
I've improved, but still not enough to win a game. At least, I did not
feel so afraid that I was going to drop dead. I just choked. I really
gave that tournament too much power over me. |

hundred megs, but I may be able offer a small sample streaming video clip.
I'm still learning the ins and outs of my camera and video software.
