The GBC 8 Team challenge was well attended by participants from York University, Seneca, Queens alumni, GBC varsity athletes & alumni as well as community members. Unfortunately one team had to withdraw at the last minute. The point handicap awarded for mixed and women's doubles teams added a fun strategic aspect to building the team and more importantly submitting lineups. Match lineups were filled by each team captain prior to the start of each set of head to head matches. The lineups are revealed simultaneously to the opposing captains which made for some mystery and added excitement at the same time!
