While many other Chicagoans were hibernating this winter, the members of SCT ( Second City Tennis ) were enjoying the Winter Doubles League every Friday night from 10 p.m. until midnight.
This league is the tennis arm or, perhaps more appropriately, the tennis elbow of the entirely volunteer-run, multi-sport organization known as Chicago MSA ( Metropolitan Sports Association ) . SCT hosted seven divisions this past season and registered a record number of teams. The top six teams from each division made the playoffs, with the top two earning a bye out of the quarterfinals. All of the championships resulted in either the first or second seed taking the division except CC, where the third seed bested the number one team for the win.
The award ceremony and end-of-season party was held at @mosphere, 5355 N. Clark.
