The courts are still wet but drying...slowly. We're been squeezing since 7 AM to get them ready for play but we are going to need to delay matches as follows:
If your match is scheduled to play between 8 AM-10 AM please report ready to play at 11 AM. If your match is scheduled to play between 10:15 AM-11:15 AM please report ready to play at 12 noon. All other matches should report ready to play as scheduled--your original match time will still apply.
Thanks for your patience with today's weather delays--it's much appreciated.

Saturday 7:00 AM Weather Update
Good Morning! Sorry about the rainy start to the day. If you have an 8 AM, 8:30 AM, or 8:45 AM match your new match time is 9 AM. All other match times will remain as scheduled. The courts at Allen are wet but it is not raining in Allen. My tournament team is already squeezing the courts. Please check the website for further updates--we'll know more after the sun comes out and we get a better idea of drying conditions. Please note that we have shortened the scoring for at least the first round to keep things moving--we are going to play 2 out of 3 sets NO-AD scoring with a 10-point tiebreaker for the 3rd set.
