SUNDAY RAIN DELAY!
Due to the rain, we will delay matches today. No matches will start before 11 AM. I will be reworking the schedule a bit in order to try to get as many matches in before it (possibly) rains again. Please double check the draws at 9:00 AM for new start times. Questions, please contact me - text is fastest, 703-862-8702, but you can of course call or email!
