Photos - National Doubles Finals
October 16th, 2006 by Geoff Thomsen
The finals of the 2006 USA Racquetball National Doubles Championships finished without a single tie-breaker! All three of the Open divisions finished in two straight games, with the reigning champions from 2005 claiming victory again this year.
Stats to note:
- On Thursday, there were 30+ matches that ended 11-10 tie-breaker (causing the tournament to get pretty backed up)
- Aimee Ruiz set a new Nationals Doubles record by winning her 5th consecutive national title
Match Galleries:
- MOF - Huczek Carson def. Hawthorne Stark (7, 9)
- WF - Fenton Ruiz def. Rajsich Tisinger (10, 11)
- XF - Thoerner Ruiz def. Vanderson Albrecht (10, 11)
- M30F - Stark Fredenberg def. Solis Dunn (14, 13)

Looks like you had a bad case of light flicker. I hate it when that happens.

Ken - you got that right! The cycling colors of the lights are a big problem at the venues in Tempe and Houston. At the US Open, there must be a different kind of light used as this isn’t nearly as big of a problem. Although, there *is* a big problem with light “mixing” during the early rounds as the house lights behind the courts are a VERY different color than the court lights. Fun with photography =)
