Matches On Schedule Sunday, April 30
Please report to Westwood Tennis Center for your scheduled Sunday matches. We could use help pushing any puddles you see on the courts. I will not be using the two courts with the backboard - no need to squeegee those. I appreciate your patience as we try to get your matches on as quickly as possible.

Update 10:42 am 4/29
Raining again in Norman. Hang tight. I will email out an updated schedule in a few minutes.

Weather Update 4/29 9:56 pm
It is not raining in Norman and the courts aren't too wet. We need to try to dry the courts and get some play in. Please report as soon as possible. I will assign courts and you will be responsible for drying your court. As soon as it is dry, we will start play. Please keep an eye on your email, If it starts raining again, I will email everyone as soon as possible. If it does rain us out again, I will then reschedule matches indoors or tomorrow.

WEATHER DELAY 4/29 7:02 AM
It is currently raining in Norman and courts are soaked. We are delaying the entire tournament 3 hours. So if you have a 9 am start time, your match will now be at 12 pm. I will make another update on 10:00 am. Please note that if the rain continues all day, I do have some indoor courts in Edmond late afternoon. I have enough blocks to play all first round matches in each draw. Please know that playing indoors later today is optional and will cost $10 per player if you choose too. I will offer the courts to matches in order of necessity so please be prepared to let me know what you would prefer to do if asked.

WEATHER INFORMATION 4/28/18 11:30 AM
I know the skies don't look happy for tomorrow. I am constantly keeping tabs on it. Unfortunately, we cannot delay or postpone the entire event on forecasts because as we know in Oklahoma, they are not always accurate. I do have access to some indoor courts in Edmond later in the day on Saturday. My game plan is to possibly play any necessary matches on Saturday late in indoors if the entire day rains out. By necessary, I mean those matches that would have to be played on Saturday in order to complete the draw on Sunday. When it comes to indoors, the facilities do charge a court fee. I have negotiated $10 per person per match fee for this tournament. Because of the court fee situation and the fact it is in Edmond, no one will be forced to play indoors. We can wait and see if it dries up outdoors. However, the option might be given to you if you would like to go indoors. Please be ready for that question and know whether or not that is something you would like to do.
