THANK YOU!!
Thanks for making the 1st Annual Firecracker Junior Tournament a success! It was hot, but otherwise the weather was great. Matches ran on time, and we did not have any bad sportsmanship to turn in. Parents as well as juniors were on their best behavior. Please make plans to come back next year...same time and same place!

DOUBLES
Doubles will be played Saturday evening and Sunday morning. If you want to sign up for doubles please email me before Thursday at noon. If you are signed up for doubles but do not have a partner, I will pair you with whoever also does not have a partner.

START TIMES
We will be starting matches as early as 4pm on Friday. However, we will try to accommodate the people coming in from out of town as much as we can with later start times, like 7pm or even 8pm as needed. Some people may not have to play on Friday...that is just the luck of the draw.
We will not be playing matches on Monday!!
