HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE!!
Dear Sunburn players & volunteers. . . . Please begin hydrating now! I am afraid beer and soft drinks do not count! :) It is important you begin drinking plenty of water well before you start playing in an athletic event. Once you begin play, please hydrate before during and after. Proper nutrition, hydration and limiting alcohol consumption are key in avoiding various heat related injuries. Please see attached link for additional info. We want to to be safe & have fun! Sincerely . . . The Sunburn Committee http://assets.usta.com/assets/1/15/2008_Heat_and_Hydration_for_Tennis_Final.pdf

SEEDING
SEEDING was done using only SC and Southern Tournament rankings for adults. Our committee decided to support tournament players (and encourage new ones to play) by using these rankings since these are NTRP divisions. The All Factors Method was used for any division which did not have rankings available.
