RESCHEDULED MATCH TIMES FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY - posted at 7:45 p.m. on Thursday
Still at Chestnut Hill and the courts are still wet. Just finished rescheduling matches. The schedule is going to be tight on Friday night so plan on arriving 30 minutes prior to each scheduled match. Since we are behind on the schedule, we will use no-ad schedule for all Friday night matches. We will resume regular scoring on Saturday and Sunday.

THURSDAY, 4:30 P.M. WEATHER UPDATE
Well it's still raining at Chestnut Hill and based on the radar, more rain is on the way. It could possibly clear up some later but it looks like even if it clears, it won't clear long enough for the courts to dry. Therefore, all Thursday night matches are cancelled and I am going to start on rescheduling the matches. Please note that all the times for the rest of the tournament will change. I am going to take the draws away while working on new times. I should have everything posted by 9 p.m. tonight.

THURSDAY, 3:45 P.M. WEATHER UPDATE
Just rained extremely hard here at Chestnut. It looks like there is a very slight chance of the heavy rain moving out and getting some clearing. Therefore, in the event there is a chance to play tonight, we will be modifying the scoring to two short scoring sets (starting at 2-all, no-ad scoring, and the first to 6 with a set tiebreak (first to 7 by 2) at 6-all. Since the scoring is modified, we will play a 7-pt match tiebreak. Now if the rain stops in about 1 hour and we get some help rolling the courts, we can possibly play. In the event we can get matches started at 6 p.m., below is the schedule:
Matches with a posted Thursday time of 4 p.m., 5 p.m., and 6 p.m. will start at 6 p.m. Matches with a posted Thursday time of 6:30 p.m. will start at 7 p.m. Matches with a posted Thursday time of 8 p.m. will start at 8 p.m. Matches with a posted Thursday time of 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. will start at 9 p.m. Matches with a posted Thursday time of 10:30 p.m. will start at 10 p.m.
The above schedule will only be possible if we can start at 6 p.m. Hence I will be studying the radar and by 4:30 p.m., I will update you on the status of tonight's matches. Talk to you soon!!
