THANK YOU!!!!
I would like to thank all the players that played in the Berry Creek Winter Open this record setting cold weekend! Hasn't been this cold in 6 years. Also to all the parents, spouses and spectators for coming out to watch. It was cold but manageable with heaters, fire, hand warmers, blankets and maybe some sort of alcohol. Also a huge Thanks to the site directors and umpires that helped this event push through. We will be renaming the tournament to the BERRY CREEK WINTER "crap shoot" TENNIS TOURNAMENT. THANKS AGAIN NEXT ADULT EVENT MARCH 3. BC PRIZE MONEY EVENT.

This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."
