I need all pre tournament questions and requests emailed and not phoned in. You are welcome to call but I am rarely available as I am on court most of the day.

DOUBLES ENTRY INFORMATION - PLEASE READ!!
The best way to sign up for doubles is for BOTH players to sign up with their partner. If one player signs up with a partner but this/her partner does not sign up for doubles we will do our best to pair them together but there is no guarantee, and you may end up with a random partner. If you sign up for doubles without a partner we will pair you with whoever else signed up with no partner. WE WILL NOT ACCEPT DOUBLES ENTRIES THROUGH EMAIL OR PHONE. If you want to sign up for doubles please do so online. THANKS!
