In this unusual auction, our 16 main draw players will be paired together. Opening bids for each pair will start at $200. As 100% of the proceeds will go to our charity, St. John’s Educational Threshold Center of San Francisco, we are hoping the auction will be lively, and that all eight winning bids will bring in more than $1,000 each for this worthy cause.
The auction will start on Monday evening at Bay Club Marin, continue on Tuesday at The San Francisco Bay Club, and end at The Olympic Club on Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m.
If you make a winning bid, and at the end of the tournament the pair of players you “own” have won more games as a combined team than any other pair, then you’ll win our first prize.* For instance if John White wins the tournament (winning all four of his matches), and his partner Ryan Donnegan, loses his first match 3-2, then the total for the pair is 14 games. Only main draw matches count toward the total.
We also have a second prize for our second highest total, and a third prize for the third highest total.
Come to the early rounds of the tournament, enjoy some fiercely competitive qualifying matches, and make a generous bid in our charity auction. To encourage everyone to come along and support our auction, entrance to the Tuesday evening matches at The San Francisco Bay Club will now be free of charge.
If you can't make it to the early rounds of our event, but would like to be involved in the auction and make a bid, contact me at mallen@sfbayclub.com or 415.901.9335 so we can arrange for you to participate in the final round at The Olympic Club by phone.Good luck and see you at the auction!
