THE 2006 OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE SERIES

The 2006 Outback Series returns for it's second year and consists of three popular tournaments in North Carolina that all have one thing in common. Outback Steakhouse is a sponsor of the tournament and will be catering the Saturday night meal for players. The first tournament in the series is the NC Open Championships in Greensboro on March 31 - April 2. The second tournament will be the Aloha Open in Winston Salem on June 23-25. And the third and final tournament will be the Outback Steakhouse Blast It! in Fayetteville on September 15-17. For each tournament points will be awarded in certain eligible divisions. After the final tournament, the points will be totaled and the champion in each division will receive a special award customized for them. There have been a few changes this year so please read the new requirements and points.

Divisions eligible for points in the series are:

Singles Divisions

Men’s and Women’s OPEN, A, B, C, D.

Age Divisions

Men’s 25 , 25 B, 35 , 35 B, 45 , 45 B

Women’s All Age

You do not have to do anything special to participate in the series. Just enter the tournament as normal. Every player that is entered in the eligible divisions will have their points tracked and the points will be posted on this web page as the series progresses. You must play in at least 2 of the serie's tournaments to win. The more of the series you play the better chance you have of winning the championship in your division. Some of the tournaments may have a limit on the number of players they can accept, so make sure that you enter early so you are not left out of a tournament. Participating in one of the series does not guarantee you will be entered in another of the series if you enter late and the player limit has been reached. For more information contact Lynn Stephens at lstephens@ncracquetball.com .
