SEEDING - SEEDS NOW POSTED

Our committee decided to support tournament players (and encourage new ones to play) by using these rankings since these are NTRP divisions. The All Factors Method was used for any division which did not have rankings available.

HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE!!
Dear Sunburn players & volunteers. . . . Please begin hydrating now! I am afraid beer and soft drinks do not count! :) It is important you begin drinking plenty of water well before you start playing. Once you begin play, please hydrate before during and after. Proper nutrition, hydration and limiting alcohol consumption are key in avoiding heat related injuries. We will do our best to keep the water coolers on court filled with cold water but it is strongly recommended that you bring your own cooler with water and other drinks that may provide hydration. Otherwise, you can purchase sport drinks in the Topspin Pro Shop. Please see attached link for additional info. We want to to be safe & have fun! Sincerely . . . The Sunburn Committee http://assets.usta.com/assets/1/15/2008_Heat_and_Hydration_for_Tennis_Final.pdf

You may play a maximum of two events. One gender and one mixed. Sorry, but you cannot play more than one gender or mixed. If you did not enter a t-shirt size (only one can be entered when you register), please go back into "edit registration" (Located on the web page below the registration tab on the right side of the site) and make sure both players have a size listed. You will need your confirmation #, which you can also locate using edit registration, if you did not keep a copy of your receipt. We may not have your shirt in the correct size unless you do this.
