Seattle dominates USTA League Pacific Northwest 40 & Over Sectionals

The Pacific Northwest section held their 40 & Over Sectionals this past weekend and the Northwest Washington (Seattle) district had a good weekend.

For the 2.5 women, Bainbridge-Alnwick (Seattle) won going 4-0 and 11-1 on courts.

At the 3.0 level, the women's championship was won by TCSP -Anderson (Seattle) beating Pacific Clinic-Lindberg in the final 3-1.  The men's had two Seattle teams in the final with Pro Club-Fintu beating Robinswood-Ravi 3-2 with the deciding win on court 1 doubles.

For the 3.5s, the women from BTA-Wolson (Seattle) beat West Hills-Leong 3-2 with the court 1 doubles win.  Note BTA had won their flight despite losing a match 3-2 to an undefeated team because points per position was used for standings.  The men had Pacific Clinic-Kohan (Eastern Washington) beating MAC Club-Wright 4-1.

At the 4.0 level, Central Park-Laun (Seattle) beat AC Bend-Feldman for the women.  And the men's 4.0s had TCSP-Blum (Seattle) beating Pacific Clinic-Haight 3-2.

The 4.5 women saw Edgebrook-Wilson (Seattle) beat Yakima-Morrison 3-2, while the men had two Seattle teams with Independent-Dalkin beating Central Park-Avery 3-2.

The 5.0 level does not go to Nationals, but Sectionals were still held with two Seattle teams playing for the women with Pine Lake-Hayes beating Central Park-Gibson.  The men had a three team round-robin with Forest Crest-Regala (Seattle) going 3-1 taking the win.

So of the 11 Sectionals champs, 10 of them were from Seattle.

This was a little different at 18 & Over a few weeks ago where the totals were:

• Seattle - 7 (3.0W, 3.5M, 4.0M, 4.5W, 4.5M, 5.0W, 5..0M)
• Eastern Washington - 2 (2.5W, 3.0M)
• Portland - 1 (3.5W)
• Southwest Washington - 1 (4.0W)

Seattle won the most by far, but the other districts weren't shutout the same as for 40 & Over.

These teams are now headed to Nationals, which are just over four weeks away.

Good luck to all!  Perhaps I'll have the opportunity to do some reports for a team or two to help them scout the competition and plan their line-ups!
