will be completed in 2 days. Please check the internet for weather
and rain delay updates. You may also call the rain delay hotline at
925 368-8882 in the event of an emergency or if you are en route to
the tournament. Make sure to check what site that you are playing
at. LTC is the Lafaayette Tennis Club. NGH is Northgate High
School. Please check in 30minutes before your match time at the

Allow extra time due to traffic. Snacks will be provided daily but
lunch may not be purchased at the club. Casa Gourmet Burrito and
Subway is a stones throw away in Lafayette. Downtown Walnut Creek
is also an option for food but the parking can be tough sometimes.
Please check the draw on Friday before the tournament and then
daily once the tournament starts. You are responsible for checking
for your start time. If you need to withdraw from the tournament
please email the TD Hunter at hunterhg@comcast.net and call at 925
368-8882. Entry fee refunds will not be given after the deadline.
You may withdraw yourself from the tournament at anytime before the
deadline using your confirmation #. Avoidance requests will be
accepted before the deadline only and if the draws are large, we
will most likely not honor your avoidance. It is always worth a try
though and we will refund your entry or credit you for a future
tournament if you sign up with an avoidance request before the
deadline and we cannot honor it. Many matches may be viewed from
the parking lot. Please bring a couple of folding chairs as the
club does not have enough chars to go around. Good Luck! CONTACT
