GIRLS 16s DOUBLES CHANGES
Due to a withdraw of a seeded team, the Girls 16s Doubles draw has changed. Please note these changes. Thanks !!
|
DRAWS ARE POSTED !!!!
Draws are now posted. Girls 10s is a ROUND ROBIN... please check all times. It is a VERY important that you read and know the following information:
1. We are using 5 sites for this tournament. Site Abbreviations are listed below. It is the players responsibility to report to the appropriate site at the correct time. We cannot help you if you show up at the wrong site or the wrong time. We DO NOT change the website times WITHOUT notifying and getting confirmation from the players so IF you show up at the wrong site or time, it is your fault.
2. Louisville, Kentucky is on EASTERN TIME.
3. Doubles start first on Saturday and is an 8 game pro set and typically takes 45 minutes. That is WHY you will see so many doubles matches back to back. We will play about 60 doubles matches in 3 hours on Saturday so we dont have time for tardiness.
4. If you are playing a different division in singles and doubles, you may have "back to back" matches at different sites. We will be aware of those that are due at another site BUT be ready to drive as soon as you are off the court.
5. Since this is a FULL FEED-IN SINGLES & DOUBLES INDOOR tournament, we will play matches late in the evening, early in the morning, and later in the day on Monday. We cannot change your match time on Monday as we have a FULL slate of matches. We realize that once you make it to Monday you want to get home, but we have to work with the courts we have. Just remember you WILL NOT be sitting through rain or snow delays.
6. This tournament does play on MONDAY (which for some of you is a school day)...... I have already had many calls where people do not understand. If you plan on defaulting Monday because of school, I would suggest that you not even play the tournament and allow someone else to advance that WILL play on Monday.
6. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE !! We are pleased to have you in the tournament and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
