Weather
As many of you know, the forecast for Saturday is for high winds. We are unable to adjust the draw based on a forecast but we are "planning" on adjustments in the case of unplayable weather. in that case, we will move draws with non-local players to indoor facilities. Draws with all local players will be moved indoors at later times and into Sunday.

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. 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."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.
