Saturday 8:30 PM Update
Thanks to all the players, coaches, parents, and spectators for a fantastic day today--well done, everyone! Match times are posted for all Sunday matches and as usual we'd like to request that you check in 30 minutes before your first match. All matches will be played at John Paul II HS. The courts will be open for warm-ups at 7 AM. We have two items in the lost and found--1) a blue Nike sweatshirt, and 2) a Rosemary Beach bag with clothes in it. Don't forget to email Sally with your RBC Tennis Championships of Dallas ticket order...and if you win your event be prepared to give an acceptance speech to the crowd just like the pros do when they win a tournament! Good Luck and sleep tight!

Draws Are Posted...and Other Important Info About Draws
The draws are posted and we'd like to be the first to wish everyone "Good Luck" this weekend in the tournament! Friendly reminder to check in ready to play 30 minutes before your first round match and then at least 15 minutes before all other matches. Please note that we have a somewhat unusual situation in the consolation draws with a vast majority of first match back draw matches being "maybe" matches--matches that won't "make" if the player with a "bye" in the first round of the Main Draw wins their first main draw match. So--to keep the schedule moving smoothly for Sunday we are going to adjust the Sunday consolation match times as soon as all of the Saturday Main Draw matches are completed (the last match is scheduled for 5:30 PM). It's a bit more work for the tournament team and it's a rare situation, but the Sunday schedule will run much smoother if we tweak it. We'll post a note on the tournament homepage when the Sunday consolation match times are finalized--estimated update time is 8 PM. All Sunday Main Draw matches will be played as scheduled.
