Updated Draws
I have updated all the draws for tomorrow. If you see anything that doesn't look right please notify me immediately.
On
behalf of the entire Tournament Committee I would like express much we
appreciate everyone's patience with the weather today. I always try my
best to make the best decision with the information/forecast I have and
communicate as clearly and frequently as possible. Also, a huge shout out to the parents and spectators who helped roll the courts to dry up the final puddles! Huge help!
Please check email frequently, as well as tournament notes, as they will be my primary modes of
communication if we need to make adjustments on the fly. I will always
do my best to make the right call based on the most up to date info I
have access to, but please be patient in possible rain-out/rain-delay
scenarios as the weather in our little coastal bubble can change in a
heartbeat. ***As
of right now the tournament is scheduled as if we'll get dry weather.
However, Saturday isn't looking good. If I have to delay play for 8am
matches I will send an email by 6am. ***By rule I can't cancel a day of play until noon (please keep this in mind when looking at the forecast)

Concurrent Tournament Rule
A player shall not be entered at the time entries close in two or more USTA sanctioned tournaments scheduled to take place at the same time, in whole or in part, unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the situation, concurs in writing, and each agrees to accommodate the player’s schedule. The final decision rests with each tournament committee. If one tournament agrees to accept concurrent entries and accommodate the player's schedule but the concurrent tournament does not, the player may not enter both. If entries for the overlapping tournaments close on different dates, approval must be received from all Tournament Committees no later than the entry closing date that occurs last. Players who enter a tournament and play it to completion, may then enter another tournament with overlapping dates without permission. If a player violates this concurrent tournament rule ranking points earned in any concurrent tournament played will not count toward ranking or the Grand Prix Points Race and the concurrent tournaments will not count toward the minimum tournament requirement to qualify for Grand Prix.

"Players are expected to check and comply with all scheduling done
by the Tournament Committee. A player is deemed to have arrived
when the player checks in at the place designated for checking in
and is properly clothed, equipped, and ready to play. The lateness
penalty clock starts at the scheduled match time regardless of
court availability, this is a variation from the national rule
which states that a player is late if they are not there when the
