How would you feel if you wore on r(
one of 94 teams in an Intramural n
Tournament0 Would you feel like you
would never have a chance to ever tc
win anything, because there are "so rc
many teams"" With a 94 team ai
tournament would you feel you could o
"never make the play offs"? Would re
you think that only 20 or so teams tc
would make the actual post season It
tournament0 Well, if you were in tc
volvod hi this year's Men's Intramural o
Basketball Tournament, you were le
probably surprised at the chance G
everyone had to make the season to
endiny playoffs. Ask the Student Bar li
Association team. They'll tell you! si
This year there were 94 total teams tj
in the Men's Basketball Tournament:
51 teams in the Gamecock League,

into ten different divisions within the T

/eather Well, everyone who played I
) the Intramural Co Rec Tennis I
'oubles Tournament this past
/eekend, definitely got a taste of <
ome summer beachin' sunshine! I
The first annual Co Rec Tennis
'oubles Tournament was held tins i
ast weekend on Friday, Saturday,
nd Sunday. This year's tournament
i as played entirely on this one
weekend, rather, than stringing it out
ver a 2 or 3 week period, as its been
one in the past. 24 couples signed
p for this double elimination con)
etition, which was held at the Blatt
.E. Center tennis courts.
The great weather really brought
ut the tennis players. A lot of I
latches were played and a lot of the
layers got sunburned, but it was a
jper way to spend a weekend,
wenty four matches were played
riday from 4 6, and eighteen
latches were played on Saturday
om 1 1 3* Some teams had to play
s many as four matches on Satur
ay, but no one seemed to mind since
was?pertect tennis weather.
Because this was a double
limination tournament, it allowed
ach team to play at least twice. A?
aoh as a team lost in the winner's
racket, they wore automatically put
