DRAWS ARE POSTED
All draws have been posted, we are very excited to have all of you play in the tournament!! Unfortunately due to the limited court availability I am unable to change any match times. There are bleachers for spectators to view, it can be cool temperatures so you may want to bring a blanket to be more comfortable.

Tournament Dates & New REDUCED ENTRY FEE
Dates of play are Dec. 18-19, 21-24 & Dec 26. No Sunday or Xmas. The prices of this years event have been reduced and in return we will forgo giving out player gifts. Hope you will agree most of you don't need another t-shirt so we decided to try something new and we hope this will help reduce some of the stress around the holidays. The tradition of Nutcracker Trophies will remain the same!!
