Saturday 7am update
Not much snow fell at Sweetwater over night. However, the courts are very wet. For now, I am calling for a 2 hour delay in starting. For example, if you have a 10am match scheduled, that match will now start at 12 and so on for the other matches. add 2 hours to your scheduled time for your new start time. After daylight we will have a chance to check the courts closely and will make another update around 8:15am. Just as information, some of the things that must be considered are 1 condition of courts at sweetwater, 2 USTA tournament rules such as number of matches a player can play each day, possible modified scoring, and 3 the road conditions. We don't want anyone hurt trying to get to the center. Also, there have been a couple of withdrawals due to injurys in the boys 16's bracket so check your draw to see when you play again.Charlie McCoy 770-819-3222. Thanks for your patience.

Welcome to the Sweetwater tournament. As you are aware the weather this evening might be a little testy. Our first matches scheduled for 10am is still scheduled on time. However, we will need to see if our courts are ready at 10. We won't know until in the morning about that. Just wanted to let you know that update postings will be made as needed starting at 7:30 Saturday morning. Thanks for entering the tournament and we will strive to make this a great weekend if the weather will just cooperate. Feel free to contact the tennis center at 770-819-3221 if you have any questions. Charlie McCoy
