Unfortunately the courts are not drying and we will go to an additional two hour delay meaning if you were originally going to play at 8:00, you will now play at 1:00. If you were going to play at 9:00, it is now 2:00. The rest of the matches will have new times. Check back at noon.

2:30 Weather Update!
Okay. I made a mistake. The courts are not going to dry. We are cancelled for today. Look tonight for the times for tomorrow.
|
Added Explanation on 2:30 Weather Update:
So, I left the tennis center at 1:30 and put the draws and new match times inside at another location. When I left the sun was out and it looked like we could play. After I put in the draws and match times in I came back outside and the sun was no longer out and it was overcast. When I came back to Kennworth the courts were not drying very well. They were going to be too damp. I apologize for the confusion and will try to have the new times for tomorrow out by 8:00 tonight. Thank you!

Counting Points Up effective Jan. 1, 2017 To align with USTA National and Southern, USTA Georgia Junior Competition Committee has approved an amendment that will affect how Georgia standings will be calculated. Beginning January 1, 2017, the singles and doubles results for each player earned in a division for the previous 12-month period shall be counted as results in the next-older division at 20%. As such, players will no longer be considered for selection based on their lower age division standings. A description of this new amendment may be found on the USTA Southern website at: http://www.southern.usta.com/Juniors/tournaments_rankings/2017_important_junior_updates/?intloc=headernavsub2
