2019 at the Sundance
courts. Team America Phil Whitten
was captained by
Rocky Ware and Team
Canada by Randy Imeson. Each country had six
teams, one Woman’s doubles, two Mixed doubles
and 3 Men’s doubles. They played six games in a
round robin format for a total of 36 matches.

We had great support from the Club, with red
maple leaf and blue star cookies as snacks, and
a great deal of chirping and cross court talk. The
spectators cheered on their countries’ players.

After round one, the score was 3-3, and all were
into the competition. The scale slowly tipped in the
American teams’ favor as the matches continued,
particularly in the fourth round with a 5-1 USA
surge. The final score was America 23-Canada 13.
The trophy presentation was made to Rocky and
Team America.
