SCHEDULE UPDATE - IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Due to inclement weather, the tournament has been moved to Sunday. Match times will remain the same.
The current forecast shows rain up to the early afternoon and overcast skies with temperatures in the low 60's. These conditions make it very hard to dry the courts effectively.
We wish everyone safe travels on Sunday.

IMPORTANT WEATHER INFORMATION!
Right now, there is a chance of some inclement weather for
this weekend’s tournament. We have not changed any match times as of
right now, and will probably not until Saturday. Please check the
tournament page for a special weather announcement before you leave on
Saturday. I will try to make a decision by 6:30am regarding delays or cancellation.
If we are unable to play on Saturday, the tournament would be moved to
Sunday.
Please be aware that if I do not answer the phone when you
call, it is because I am on the courts trying to make them playable.
Again, please refer to the tournament page for all scheduling changes.
