ATTENTION: TOURNAMENT IS CANCELLED
The tournament is cancelled and will be rescheduled for a later date. We apologize for the inconvenience but court conditions coupled with the almost certainty of more heavy rains made this cancellation necessary. Currently all of our clay courts are completely saturated due to two days of heavy rain. Once the base of a clay court gets thoroughly saturated like ours are, they must have a period to dry somewhat before we can even get the necessary maintenance equipment on them. Given their current state plus more rain on the way, the earliest that our grounds crew could even get miantenance underway to restore them to playability would be mid to late Sunday. After taking all this into consideration and after conferring with USTA Alabama we have decided to cancel the tournament for this weekend. We are now looking at potential dates in the near future to reschedule the tournament. If players cannot make the rescheduled date then refund checks will be mailed. Joc, the Tournament Director, will make details available on the rescheduling and on refunds as soon as those details are known. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding. We hope that each and everyone of you returns and plays in the rescheduled tournament.

ALTERNATES UPDATE 9:00 A.M. EDT FRIDAY
As of 9:00 A.M. EDT there have not been any more withdrawals since early yesterday. I will be in route to Huntsville. Please direct all inquires to Joc, the Tournament Director, until I get to Huntsville which should be the middle of the afternoon. We are monitoring the weather situation and we will post a note here if the start of the tournament needs to be delayed due to this infernal liquid sunshine. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we all work through this inclement weather.

FIRST ROUND DRAWS
We have posted the first match times for all age groups. We are not going to post more match times until Friday afternoon at the earliest due to the possible impact the weather may have on our tournament. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE HUNTSVILLE TENNIS CENTER WITHOUT CHECKING HERE ON THE INTERNET FIRST. The personnel manning the front desk at the tennis center will not know anything more than you see here nor will they know anything more quickly than you will see it here. We are still processing alternates at this time.

ALTERNATES LIST PROCESSING PROCEDURE
I am now calling alternates to fill vacabcies in various sections of the draw. I will leave a message if you're not at home when I call. Alternates that I call will then have three (3) hours to get back in touch with me. After this three hour period I will have to go on to the next alternate in turn. If that next alternate called also doesn't answer the phone then I will leave them the same three hour message. Whichever alternate gets back in touch with me FIRST will be the alternate that gains entry into the tournament. PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOUR PHONE INFORMATION IS CORRECT IN THE USTA DATABASE OR I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU. If the phone number or numbers in the database aren't valid I will then go on immediately to the next alternate. I am the Tournament Referee and I can be reached at 770-653-4973.

ALTERNATES LIST NOTE
The top ALternates List that you see here is the most recent list. From time to time we do republish the Alternates List to reflect withdrawals from the list as well as new positions on the list as we fill tournament slots from the alternates. TennisLink keeps pushing the new list on the top of the stack so to speak but does not remove previous versions. DON'T BE CONFUSED - ALWAYS LOOK AT THE TOP LIST.

SEEDING PROCESS
SEEDING PROCESS. This year the USTA has instituted a rule change requiring all tournaments to list the procedure that will be used in determing the seeds. Our procedure is as follows. We will use the most recent state, regional and national standing lists as a starting point. We will then take into account RECENT head-to head records for all seeded players. We will also take into consideration any extra information sent to us before the draws are made. All ties will be decided by the use of a Random Binary Digitizer (RBD). Our RBD is certified and has been used in hundreds of tournaments.
