Weather Forecast - Updated Friday 1/6/2017
Latest Weather Update - Friday 1/6/2017 Well of course, the weatherman has changed the forecast again. It seems that predicted snow totals have increased for throughout North Carolina. The Boone area is expecting to get up to 5 inches overnight. There are parts of North Carolina that are expected to receive more than that.
The tournament will go on for those who are in the area this weekend and wish to play. While the road crews in the Boone do a superb job, we do not suggest trying to travel to Boone from other areas of the state on Saturday morning.
At this point, we will delay the start of all matches on Saturday. No matches will begin prior to 11am. We will post an update on Saturday morning at 8:30am with an updated schedule for the matches on Saturday. This will allow the road crews to get out and clear the roads on Saturday morning.
Any player who will NOT already be in the Boone area this weekend and wishes to withdraw from the tournament may do so by sending an email TODAY (Friday, January 6th) to the tournament referee (scott@deervalleyracquetclub.com). Your withdrawal will be coded a Personal Circumstance so that it will not affect you in regards to suspension points.
Per NC policy, those players who withdraw will have one of two options for compensation: 1) Players may receive a refund that equals the amount of the entry fee minus the expenses already incurred by the tournament (which would provide for a refund of $20 per entrant for this tournament), or 2) Players may receive a FREE entry into one of our other USTA junior tournaments in 2017 (Beat the Heat Jr. NC L4 July 8 & 9th ID#:700081617 or DVRC Labor Day Championships NC L5 September 1 & 2nd ID#700081717) or this tournament in 2018.
Players who send an email to withdraw from the tournament should indicate how they wish to be compensated.

Pre-Tournament Camp
There are only 2 spots remaining available for the camp. Text Scott at 704-300-7940 to take one of the last two positions. We will have a High Performance Junior Camp on Friday afternoon from 5:30-7:30pm for all players that would like to attend. The cost is $25 for DVRC Members and $30 for Non-Members. This is a great way to get used to the speed of indoor courts. The camp will consist of drills and competitive situational games. Please email scott@deervalleyracquetclub.com to register.

Draws & Player Check-In
Draws are now posted. The location for each match is on the drawsheet.

If you have any questions about where your match will be played, please contact the tournament referee (scott@deervalleyracquetclub.com).
