Unsanctioned TournamentThis tournament is not sanctioned and will not count for ranking by the governing organization.
8:06 -- Sunday Draws Complete
Thank you everyone for sticking with us as rain days can be a hassle. If this was your first experience, I promise that not all events have such waiting. We have some good news though...only 13 matches left to play on Sunday! The tournament was planned for all day Saturday and we ALMOST finished on Saturday.
The new draw times are posted for the morning with last match planning to start at 9:45 so I think we should have a full day ahead after that.

Tournament Communication
It has come to my knowledge that not everyone has been receiving the "message from the director" emails that have been sent out every night. These emails are sent out to an email list created using the emails attached to the USTA account of the player registered for the tournament. Please check that email to receive communication.
Thus far, the topics have been (1) welcome, (2) how to find playing times and navigating the website, (3) inclement weather plans, and other great information.
Tonight, I will send out another "message from the director" using a new list creating based upon the email once again under the player in the system. Should you want to receive the communication, please update the information or check the account associated with the player.
The tournament director's phone will NOT BE AN APPROPRIATE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION on tournament day unless it is an absolute emergency.

Inclement Weather Protocol
There is a potential for inclement weather this weekend. The tournament will not be canceled and instead will be pushed to Sunday if needed. Tournaments NEVER cancel early as we attempt to play at all times. We will be on delay after delay after delay until the day is lost.
I will be updating the status of Saturday morning by 6:30 am via the website.
