DRAWS & WEATHER
DRAWS ARE POSTED. ALL PLAY IS SCHEDULED TO BE OUTDOORS AT TOP GUN ACADEMY (1800 ELITE DRIVE LOUISVILLE, KY 40241). WEATHER FACTORS: We scheduled many of the round robins for Sunday due to the projected rain on Saturday and the lack of availability of indoor courts on Saturday. Please stay tuned to the website for weather information updates. In case of rain first round matches in the Mens Open Singles WILL play indoors at The Tennis Club at Springhurst at 8:00am. Basically you are playing at 8:00am no matter what. Just check the website (or look outdoors) for your site. No rain = Top Gun. Rain = Springhurst. All other matches will be "played by ear" on Saturday in case of rain.
