Draws will be posted mid afternoon
Hello ladies - I think we have all the seeding worked out and thanks again for the suggestions and input. I will have the draws posted with times mid afternoon Wednesday, April 11th.

Friday welcome party
We will have a welcome party Friday afternoon 4:30PM - 6:30PM upstairs in our meeting room. In the past we've had enough room to seat everybody, and bring in a guest speaker. Since we've added a new division this year (40's), we are going to make this a "come and go" at your leisure welcome greeting. You don't have to be here right at 4:30, and you don't have to stay until the end. We'll have Hors d'oeuvres, drinks, snacks, and fruit.

Changes to seedings in the 60's division
We are going to make some changes in the 60's singles and doubles. There need to be some adjustments made. I will hopefully have the new updates by 1:00CST today (Tuesday, April 10th). Thanks for all the input and suggestions.
|
Seeding is now posted for all divisions
If you have any questions or comments about the suggested seeding, please email me at Joc@huntsvilletenniscenter.com. I will talk with my referee and seeding chairwoman to see if a change is needed. This was a hard process, and thank you to the seeding chairwomen at each division for taking their time to look up so many results. We use the all factors method when seeding for this tournament. We will not make the draws until Wednesday afternoon. This should give us enough time to make seeding adjustments if need be.

Posting the draws and seeds
We will have the seeds posted Monday, April 9th. The draws will be posted on Wednesday, April 11th with the starting times as well.
