Most of the documents here are in Adobe Acrobat format. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader from Adobe or other PDF viewer.

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.

Rich's 2002-03 Racquetball Ladder Gallery
Nine pictures posted on 5/7/03. These have been resized so originals can be requested from me directly.


Joe's 2002-03 Summer League A/B Division Gallery
Basically only two pictures posted on 7/15/03. This league picture with League Champ, James Fay, holding the trophy. Also we went to On the Border to celebrate.


2003-04 Travel League Stop at Rutgers Sonny Werblin
For me, it was the best night of Racquetball at Rutgers since I started playing a couple of years ago. Anyway it's a small collection of pictures

2004-05 Hillsborough Pirates Plunder Tournament
I offered to put some pictures up for Gloria from the Pirates Plunder Tournament at Hillsborough. Photo Credit goes to Joe Camiolo. It was a great round robin tournament.

2004-05 Hillsborough Medieval Mayhem Tournament
Some pictures from Medieval Mayhem at Hillsborough. Photo Credit goes to Joe Camiolo. Even though I played only Open Doubles it was still a lot of fun. My partner at the time, John Patric, may disagree.

2004-05 Hillsborough Reindeer Games Tournament
Some pictures from Reindeer Games at Hillsborough. Photo Credit again goes to Joe Camiolo. The first tournament I took my son to using a babysitter of course. I played well and it was a challenge to keep my mind on my game and not on my son upstairs.

2005-06 Hillsborough Terminator Tournament
Some pictures from Reindeer Games at Hillsborough. Photo Credit again goes to Joe Camiolo. Well this one is his too, but I altered it. I missed this tournament, so I'm just posting it for the gang at Hillsborough.

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.
