The tournaments are scheduled for January 22-23. There will be 5 Individual Tournaments all going on at the same time (1-States and 4 – Series):

Open Men’s State tournament for any players in the state of Illinois
One tournament for players rostered between Series 4-8
A separate tournament for players rostered between Series 9-15
A tournament for players rostered between Series 16-24
A tournament for players rostered at Series 25 and higher

Players are limited to 1 tournament and are not allowed to play “Down”. However, players may play “UP” by entering a higher tournament if they wish.
The tournament will take place at one or more of the 20 different clubs on the North Shore. Glenview Prairie Paddle Club is this year’s host and will provide lunch to all the players.

The cost is $125 per player which includes several rounds of paddle, food, drinks and a Cupid Courts favor, plus an opportunity to donate to a wonderful place! Raffle tickets are also available.
This event was started 12 years ago by a group of women who wanted to combine their love of paddle tennis and the desire to help a needy cause. Thus the origin of Cupid Courts, a fun day of paddle tennis benefitting Misericordia Home. It has evolved from one club to all eight local paddle Clubs. The morning event was sold out in 2022 and was attended by approximately 170 women, raising more than $75,000.
In 2021, the men joined in on the fun later the same evening, at LGCC, and we hope to have even more included this year. The men’s event of 32 LGCC members raised close to $10,000 both of the past 2 years. This year’s Men’s event will be hosted at 3 area clubs.
Misericordia currently supports 600 children and adults with developmental disabilities from diverse racial, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. This most vulnerable population lives in an environment of respect and beauty where they are challenged to be their best, thanks to the loving care of Misericordia staff and volunteers.
