Weather Concerns/Updates
UPDATE. 6/23, 11:26 I think it's fair to assume that it will be raining this afternoon in BG. So, the boy's 16 doubs will play in Owensboro at Centre Court. Location will be changed shortly on the draw. Thanks for your patience.
update...6/22, 7:10 Doubles changes: All doubles with the exception of the boy's 16s will be played on Saturday in Bowling Green as indicated on draws. Draws will reflect new times shortly. If weather allows on Friday, the boy's 16 doubles will be played at Kereiakes Park as planned. If not possible, we will move it to Owensoboro's Centre Court. The reasoning: Scheduling and playing 3 singles and 2 doubles matches in a day (Saturday) is less than ideal. I will make this decision by noon tomorrow. The times will remain the same, regardless of location, so if you have a doubles match scheduled at 5pm, it will either be at Kereiakes or Centre Court. Again, I will update by noon tomorrow.
It looks as if weather will be a constant concern in this tourney. Please check here for updates.
The tropical storm looks like it may make a wash of Friday doubles. If it does, I plan to try to fit in the doubles after the singles on Sat and Sunday. If Saturday matches are delayed due to weather, doubles will likely be cancelled. If we have further delays, I will consider cancelling the back draw or modify the scoring.
