THANK YOU & UPDATES AS OF MONDAY!
Overall I think we had a great weekend for the hosting the largest state level 3 - southern level 4 tournament in north MS all packed into 2 days! IT TAKES ALLOT TO HOST AN EVENT LIKE THIS! Even with all the challenges thrown at us. Thank you Tupelo Parks & Rec for co-hosting at your great 16 court facility. Also thank you to everyone that helped! It could not have been done without your help! We almost finished all events when the rain hit us for the second time. We did complete & play 357 matches in 2 days! That's pretty impressive & to stay ahead of schedule the majority of the time. Thank you to all the players & parents! I will have to say I saw allot of great talent this weekend & did not code anyone for unsportsmanlike conduct and\or racquet abuse! We learn new things every tournament we host & I look forward to all comments in order to make our events more successful & better each time. I honestly care about your opinions & feedback. I strive for excellence & make notes of all comments\suggestions. Without feedback we cannot improve. Please email, text, or call me with suggestions &/or comments. Scores! We may have made a mistake with all the wet paperwork & no computer at satellite site. Please check draws & let us know if the wrong winning player was chosen or an incorrect score. COIN TOSS: I think some were confused on this. If you look at draws it does not list a winner or a loser! It was only for the awards\trophies. Sorry if it was not explained better but if you have any questions please feel free to contact me or our state director. Again thank you, Bo Bowman 228-218-9920 or bowman10s@cableone.net

DOUBLES
Sorry doubles is not offered because we received this tournament from another director that had already sanctioned it this way. That is also why the fee is lower! The draws are feed in so there plenty of play! We will try to get doubles sanctioned next year. 10s Doubles is Sanctioned due to the short sets but if the draws & tournament gets to big 10s doubles will be cancelled for scheduling reasons. ****** THE 10S DOUBLES WILL NOT MAKE THIS WEEKEND DUE TO THE LARGE DRAWS*********
