SUNDAY, 8:40 A.M. UPDATE
We are on a 1-hour rain delay from your schedule match times for singles and doubles. Please note that now singles also is on a 1-hour rain delay.

SUNDAY, 8:00 A.M. UPDATE
Let's stick with the 1-hour rain delay just for doubles this morning. We just need the sun to come out just like yesterday to finish drying the courts. Let's plan on all the now 9:30 a.m. matches check in at 9:00 a.m.
|
SUNDAY, 7:30 A.M. UPDATE
We are on an official 1-hour rain delay just doubles this morning. The plan is to still start singles at 11:30 a.m. I will repost at 8:00 a.m.
|
SUNDAY, 7:15 A.M. UPDATE
Courts a bit damp. 1-hour rain delay from originally scheduled time. Next update at 8 a.m.
|
SATURDAY, 11:00 a.m. UPDATE
All matches on as scheduled. Although a lot of the courts are drying nicely, there may be a few at 12 p.m. that will not quite be ready. Hence, instead of delaying anymore, I am going to contact a few nearby facilities in the event we need to move a few matches to another facility. No more updates right now.
|
SATURDAY, 10:30 A.M. UPDATE
Okay. We are not going to play doubles today. We are going to stick with the singles match times that are posted. We feel that the courts at both facilities should dry by 12 noon - that's just a good estimate. Hopefully we can start the 12:00 p.m. matches with not a lot of waiting for courts to dry. I will post the Sunday doubles times by 6 p.m. tonight. Next update at 11:00 a.m.
|
SATURDAY, 9:30 UPDATE
The courts are starting to dry some but I don't think they will be ready before 12 p.m. Therefore, I am going to reschedule the doubles and focus on the singles starting no earlier than 12 p.m. I am going to post the singles time by 9:30 a.m. At the 10:30 a.m. posting, I will let you know if we will be postponing doubles until Sunday morning. Next update at 10:30 a.m. While waiting for the courts to dry, you may want to go to GA Tech to watch Ole Miss play UGA. They start at 10:00 a.m. indoors. The address is 940 Fowler Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30318.
|
SATURDAY, 8:30 A.M. UPDATE
Courts not drying yet. Need the sun to come out and help dry the courts. No matches starting before 11:00 a.m. I am going to remove the draws now, reschedule matches and update you again at 9:30 a.m. I'm leaning toward playing singles first now so be prepared to play singles first if I decide to do that.
|
SATURDAY, 7 A.M. UPDATE
It misted all night in Norcross and overnight so the courts are still not playable. I am not using a rain delay system because I may have to end up doing singles first. What I am doing is letting you know that we will not start any matches before 10:00 a.m. and I will update you again at 8:30 a.m. I will take the draw of the internet and reschedule matches.
|
Friday, 6:00 p.m . Update
Saturday Singles and doubles match times are now posted. I assume that all the courts will dry overnight. However, I will post a message here at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morning to let you know.
|
FRIDAY, 3:30 P.M. UPDATE
I'm at one of the sites right now. With the high humidity and the sun peeping in and out, I don't foresee the courts drying tonight so all Friday night matches will be rescheduled for Saturday. So relax and go hang out at GA Tech and watch the Yellow Jackets play Ole Miss. The great thing is that I have plenty of courts for tomorrow. The plan was to play 1 round of singles on Friday night. We will add that round to Saturday or Sunday. I will reschedule all the matches and post new Saturday singles times at 6 p.m. tonight. The doubles times will remain the same. In the Girls 16 and 14 doubles I have two girls needing a partner. Please email me at turhanberne@gmail.com if you can play doubles.

Friday, 3:00 P.M. WEATHER UPDATE
The rain has stopped but the courts are soaked so we are on an official 1-hour rain delay from your posted Friday match time. For Example: If you were scheduled for 5 p.m., you now play at 6 p.m. This will give me time to survey the courts and see if we will even be able to play tonight. The humidity is very high and the courts may not dry. I will update you again at 4 p.m. If I make a decision earlier, I will post.
