Each INVITED Player may enter no more than two events: Main Doubles, and your choice of either Scrambles or WOTT Mixed Doubles. You will be assured of at least two matches in each event entered.

Each team will be placed in the division of its highest rated player. For your own enjoyment and the success of the Tournament, it is important that you rank yourself accurately. No tennis professionals will be permitted to play in any division. The Tournament Committee reserves the right to upgrade or downgrade teams based on previous performances. The Tournament Committee must make any last minute substitutions that may be necessary.

NOTE to 2009 Finalists
If you reached the finals in the 2009 Tournament (other than in the Championship division, Scrambles or in any consolation bracket), this year you must move to the next higher division regardless of whether you play with the same partner or a new one.

Tournament Registration
Tournament registration is completed on-line at our website: www.wott.org. Refer to "Frequently Asked Questions" for assistance. You may contact Denise Kirby at 281-660-9037 or Darla Nunley at 713-705-1671 to assist you with registration.

The Tournament entry fee is $350. This fee covers Tournament play for you and your spouse, and participation in all scheduled activities for you and your spouse/date. There is a Tournament entry fee of $175 for an Outside Mixed Partner which covers tournament play and socials. An additional Tournament entry fee of $175 will cover the spouse/date of an Outside Mixed Partner at all the tournament functions. Payment may be made by check, Master Card, Visa or American Express. Checks should be made payable to WOTT Corp. and mailed to WOTT c/o Denise Kirby, 7903 Fall Hollow Drive, Houston, Texas 77041. As in past years, we anticipate receiving more player requests than can be reasonably accommodated making it necessary to limit the number of entrants. Registration should be completed ON OR BEFORE Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Entries received after that date will be placed on a stand-by list.

You are not guaranteed entrance into the Tournament until you receive a CONFIRMATION LETTER from WOTT. Please note that the invitation may not be transferred to another individual.

Entertainment
Breakfast and lunch will be served at the Club each day and refreshments will be available throughout the Tournament at courtside. Two very special social events have been planned for Thursday and Friday evenings. The Thursday evening Sponsors' Gala will be business casual. For the gentlemen, jackets are recommended, ties are optional, but please, no shorts or blue jeans. The Friday evening party will be casual attire. The tournament this year will highlight a very festive Cinco de Mayo theme.

Tournament Sponsorship
Many of the Tournament activities, as well as the welcome bags provided at registration, are made possible by contributions from generous sponsors. Over the years, these important contributions have helped make the World Oilman's Tennis Tournament one of the truly memorable social events in our industry. In order to ensure the continued quality and success of the Tournament, we hope that you too will consider a sponsorship commitment to WOTT.

As in the past, any company or individual concern having two or more players entered in the Tournament must sponsor. Minimum sponsorships are available in the amount of $500. Sponsorships are separate contributions to the Tournament and are not received in lieu of any Tournament entry fee. Neither the sponsorship contributions nor the Tournament entry fees are deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes.

Sponsors are encouraged to bring guests to the Thursday night Sponsors’ Gala and how many couples depends upon your level of sponsorship (Regular Sponsors = 1 guest; Special Sponsors = 2 guests; Wimbledon and Davis Cup at the $5000 level Sponsors = 3 couples; Davis Cup Sponsor at the $7500 level = 4 couples; and Grand Slam Sponsors = 5 couples). This is an opportunity for you, as a sponsor, to provide an evening of fun and entertainment to a client/customer at no additional expense! Please send the first and last names of the couple(s) you are inviting to George Hite (ghite@hiteinc.com) before April 30, 2010.

WOTT Photo Directory
This year, we are again making a special effort to update the WOTT photo directory. Our goal is to be able to include a current photo for EVERY participant and EVERY sponsor. This directory is invaluable in furthering the social and business interactions within our industry and we need your help to make certain that it is kept current and complete. We ask that you make a special effort to forward an updated photo(s) this year. Digital photos in the *.tiff, *.gif or *.jpeg format are preferred. Photos in digital format may be sent by e-mail to K. C. Weiner at kcweiner@texcrude.com or mailed directly to him at Texas Crude Energy, Inc., 2803 Buffalo Speedway, Houston, TX 77098. Of course, regular photographs will be accepted as well. Photo booths will be set up during registration and tournament play. If you do not have a current photo in the directory and are unable to obtain one prior to the start of the tournament, please stop by one of the WOTT photo booths sometime during registration or the tournament.
