Tournament matches will be played as long as outdoor temperatures are at
least 40 degrees (considering windchill) each day, long enough to get the tournament played (for at least a few hours each day). It does not have to be 40 degrees in order to start matches, but overall 40 degrees that day. If matches
cannot be played/completed on the first weekend (because of weather or number of players entered), the following weekend will be
used. Please be sure that players are available BOTH weekends.
Refunds/credits will not be issued if play cannot occur on the first
weekend and player is not available on the second weekend. If weather
is bad both weekends, players will be issued a credit for a future outdoor David
LeMair Tennis Tournament in 2018 (more than 20 to choose from).
