EVENT PLAYOFFS FOR THOSE WITH 7 TEAMS
Events with 7 teams are too large for One Event Round Robin so these will be split into two events. The #1 place team in the RED DRAW upon completion of the RR will play against the #1 place team in the WHITE DRAW to determine the EVENT CHAMPION; The #2 place team in the RED DRAW will play against the #2 place team in the WHITE DRAW, etc. The RR flight with 4 teams...the #4 place team will not play a playoff match, they will already have had their 3 matches and there is not a 4th place team to play in the Flight with only 3 teams.

INFORM SITE DIRECTOR IF YOU'VE NOT PLAYED YOUR GUARANTEED 3 DOUBLES MATCHES
This tournament guarantees all players 3 matches and you could play more if your draw dictates. If you are informed by your site director that your draw is complete and you've only played 2 matches, please inform your site director that you've only played twice. He/she will make sure that you play 3 times before your tournament experience is complete.

RE-CHECK DRAWS OFTEN, ONCE PUBLISHED
You are asked to RE-CHECK YOUR DRAWS, once published, up to tournament start time. Tournament is anticipated to start at 12 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17th. If entry numbers dictate, the tournament start time may be early morning to accommodate the player BINGO party scheduled for Friday evening at 7:00.
Be aware that the tourney does regretfully receive withdrawals for injury and illness and you wouldn't want to show up unnecessarily. If I have a contact number or email address in the tournament software program, I'll do my best to contact you. However, some players have NO contact information provided. For this reason, ALL PLAYERS CONTINUE TO RE-CHECK DRAWS UNTIL YOUR MATCH TIME, beginning with your first round and throughout the tournament. Thanks and we'll see you at the Polar Brrr...."nothing but doubles" tournament. Come prepared to have FUN and PLAY LOTS OF TENNIS!

WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER
In the event the tournament experiences inclement weather please follow these helpful instructions. For the most up-to-the minute tournament messages, follow me on TWITTER at http://twitter.com/catadirector. In addition, I routinely (every 1 to 1 1/2 hours) update this website with details about weather delays, and when play is anticipated to resume. If you do not have internet access readily available to you, your hotels generally do in their business centers. Please use their internet services to access our tournament homepage for updates. This will help you know when to return to your site for match play and help the tournament run more smoothly by reducing unnecessary phone calls. You may also call the CATA office for updates at 512 443-1342. Our office voice mail will have updates for you as well. However, this is more difficult to stay on top of so your most up-to-date info can be found FIRST via twitter and secondly via the use of our tourney homepage.
