Please Read!!!
Additional information: As the draws are out, there will be some of you that are playing in two divisions and will have match times that are close together or may create some conflict the further you go in the tournament; ie finals. We will watch those as the tournament transpires and make adjustments accordingly. Those will be the only matches we will look to reschedule aside from the older division boys who may have conflict with region/state championships on Saturday and we wll accomodate those as well. Several of you asked for avoidances with your entry and it is greatly appreciated.

Weather!!! Tournament update
Hi everyone! We did get all of last nights matches(Tuesday) played. Thanks for your patience. Rain is being predicted for 1, 2, 5 and 8 today and if I need to cancel because of rain I will try to have a definitive answer by 2:00 pm. If that is the case and we cancel for today, we will keep the draw that is in place and just move it one day back and we will play both the semis(morning) and the finals(afternoon/evening) on Saturday. There may be other options(start and get as far as we can...alot of sitting around and waiting) if it does not totally soak the courts, but it keeps things in tact with avoidance issues and two division players if we keep the draw as is and move it back a day. It is very difficult to have the courts dry very fast at this temperature and no sun on them. We will see how it goes. Thanks, Rod

Let's Go For It!

Friday Weather
Fun!Fun!Fun! As of now I have 3 courts booked indoors starting at 5:00, 2 more at 6:00 and all of them at 6:30. We will see how it goes between now and 2:00. We will take the matches starting with 3;30 and start at 5:00'... get as far as possible tonight and finish the rest tomorrow morning and push back the finals tomorrow to the afternoon. We would then resume with the normal finals draw with a few exceptions for region/state finals. If the weather were to break, we would look to get back outside as quickly as possible. Sorry!!! Check back at 2:30 and we will see. Thanks, Rod

Update for today
No 3:30 Matches at 3:30!!! 3:30 matches will begin at 5:00 and we will put you on as fast as possible on a first come first serve basis. All other matche times plan on showing up 1 hr after scheduled match time. If the weather clears, we will move back outside as close to your time as possible. If we have to stay indoors, we will definitely be behind schedule and move the later matches to tomorrow morning and push back the finals to tomorrow afternoon. Stay in touch with the front desk and the tournament desk and we will keep the site updated as we move along. Thanks for your patience and understanding, Rod

We are on outside as soon as you can get here we will put you on. Just have a few more courts drying. We will also keep the indoor courts and catch up through out the night. Thanks, Rod
