We completed 4 matches today. All matches that were on court are now tentatively scheduled for 8a including one 915a match that was in progress today. The rest of the matches are about the same times but double check the draws to confirm. There were a few matches that may start earlier now. The ladies 3.5 singles should all check your draws. Please check the draws after 8p tonight to see if we are going to go on a delay for tomorrow. We most likely will delay tonight so you do not have to get up early if you have an 8a match. Thanks for your patience during the delays!

Attention all players and alternates
Thank You for applying for the tournament! This is a limied draw/tournament director selection tournament. The selection process is determined by the usta. If you were not accepted then you were put on an alternate list and we will notify you if a spot opens up. You also will not be charged for your entry fee. This is a new tournament that was sanctioned this year. The problem with the usta sanctioning a new tournament and not a longstanding one is that we cannot prepare for the amount of players ahead of time. We hate turning any players away and would like to give the most amount of players an opportunity to play. The forecast looks good for the weekend so we should have a fun tournament! Please check your start time on friday just in case your opponent has withdrawn and your schedule changes!
