Tournament Info Email Sent 8/15
Thank you for signing up for this weekend's tournament. I was pleasantly surprised at the nice turnout despite everyone being busy with back to school time. The weather looks great so far, and I look forward to spending the weekend with you. Draws: The draws have been uploaded online with your start time. The tournament will run Saturday and Sunday. There will be no Friday matches. Singles will be 2 out of 3 sets with a 10 point tiebreaker in lieu of a 3rd set. Doubles will be an 8 game pro set with a 7 point tiebreaker at 8-8. Regular scoring will be used. Doubles: The only doubles that made was the Boys 16s draw. If you entered as a blind draw, I either did not have someone to pair you with or there was not another team entered to make a draw. Weather: While the highs still look low to moderate for August, our players have not been use to many days with heat. Please make sure you player starts hydrating several days before the tournaments so that we don't have any heat related illness. If rain should happen into the forecast, please know that I will only use indoors in the event it is necessary to complete the tournament. At that point, it will be optional and the indoor facilities will charge a court fee. I do not see any reason this tournament won't be able to all play outdoors (knock on wood). Sportsmanship: There will be sportsmanship awards given out. Parents, players and coaches will all have an opportunity to nominate players for the sportsmanship award. Please turn in your nomination by Saturday evening. Site Information: All matches will be played at Westwood Tennis Center. The physical address is: 2420 Westport Dr., Norman, OK 73069. The pro shop phone number is 405-366-8859. The pro shop will be opened both Saturday and Sunday by 8 am for players to warm-up and prepare for their matches. Tournament check-in will not start until 8:30 am.
That is all I can think of for now! Please don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions about the tournament or the schedule. Have a wonderful week and good luck to all the kiddos starting school this week!
