2 PM Update - Sunday matches cancelled
Although we haven't had downpours in the last few hours, we continue to get light rain/mist which has prevented any drying action on the courts. We have no hope of getting back on the courts this afternoon and are expecting heavier rain starting at 6 PM. I am therefore cancelling the remaining matches. Stay dry!!
|
1:00 PM Update
The rain has temporarily ended, however the courts are still very wet. It is also project to begin raining again within the next 30 minutes. We will make a final decision at 2 PM as to whether we will be able to get any matches on the courts today, and if possible at what time.
|
7 Hour Rain Delay
Rain continues and is not projected to end until after 3 PM. There is now a 7 hour rain delay from the original posted match times at both locations. Matches will not begin before 3 PM. The next update will be at 1 PM.
|
5 Hour Rain Delay - All Locations
It is raining hard in both locations. It is not projected to stop raining before noon, therefore I am putting in five hour delay from your original match time. No matches will start before 1 PM. I will put in another update at 11 AM.
|
Rain Delay at GGC only
Matches continue to play at Greater Atlanta Christian Academy (ACAD), however we are in a 3 hr rain delay at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC). An update will be posted at 10:00 AM
|
Courts are DRY
Right now the courts are dry. We'll start play as scheduled in both locations. I will post a note as soon as we start to get rain, so check back here if you have a match later in the day.

Draws Available
Thank you for your patience with the draws. I received word late that the time for ALTA
matches is different for playoffs, resulting in the need for me to do some last
minute rescheduling this evening. All
draws are now available. Note that we
will be using two locations. If your
match indicates GGC, then you will be at the main Georgia Gwinnett College
Tennis Center. If your match indicates
ACAD, your match will be played at the Greater Atlanta Christian Academy Courts. Addresses and directions will be posted in a
separate message.
