SATURDAY MATCHES CANCELED:
Rain delays are most difficult for the players, parents, site directors, USTA officials and tennis facilities. All the tournament work has been completed and everyone is ready to play tennis, but the weather will not cooperate. Today is one of those day's, we could keep postponing the start times an hour at a time and the day would be spent waiting for the next weather rain delay update. The chance of rain today is 80% all day and under a "flood watch" until 4:00 PM. Tomorrow is a slight chance of rain with sunshine. The Tournament Committee has decided to cancel play for today and reschedule the tournament for an 8:00 AM start on Sunday. Please check the website for new match times and new site locations. Thanks for your patience it is greatly appreciated.

RAIN DELAY:
As of 6:00 AM: All matches are delayed for 2 hours from the original scheduled match time, except for the matches at Huffhines Tennis Center. Looks like 70% rain all day and the tournament committee is looking at alternatives.
