We will do our best to honor special scheduling requests for the weekend, but these must be sent in writing directly to the Tournament Referee: MSRabb@aol.com. We must have these by the date the registration closes (July 13th, 2014). WE CANNOT GUARANTEE we will be able to work around all requests, but we will try. Please send your name, all divisions you are playing and your request. (One request per team). It would be helpful to know if you and your partner are available to play on Thur, especially if you are playing more than one event. We want to get as many as possible started on Thursday to save the number of matches being played back to back in the same day over the weekend. Please do NOT sign up for two events if you have a difficult or more than one scheduling request.
