DRAWS HAVE BEEN POSTED
As you check singles and doubles times, please be assured players will be given adequate rest time between matches. In situations where both players or teams are willing to play early, such requests will be considered as long as there is court availability and it does not give them an unfair advantage over their next opponent. Doubles times have the best chance of moving if the singles players are finished for the day.
NOTE: There was an error made in the Boys 14s doubles event. As a result the entire draw has been remade and posted again. I will continue to update here if another mistake has been brought to my attention.
UPDATE: The Boys 18s singles draw has been redone. Please check all of your match times for the day and let me know as soon as possible if it needs to be changed.
