Weather update: Sunday 5:45am
There is rain falling again this morning in Carrollton. WE ARE ON A THREE HOUR RAIN DELAY, ALL TIMES HAVE BEEN UPDATED ON THE DRAW AND ARE CORRECT. No matches will be played before 11am. I will post another update at 9:00am this morning. Here is the plan for the day: If we can get play going we will be using more that one site for match play to complete the tournament as far as possible. In accordance wtih USTA Georgia policy we can't cancel the tournament until 12:00 even if it looks like and all day rainout like we had yesterday.

Sunday Schedule:
The draws are now posted for Sunday play, a few notes: The schedule is very tight and we will not be able to work around any time requests. Scoring format: We will be using short sets to complete the tournament with no-add scoring, this is used to speed play and allow for the tournament to complete as far as possible. A short set is the same as a normal set except all sets begin with a score of 2-2, this along with no-add scoring should allow us to complete the tournament if we have dry weather. Any questions about short sets and/or no-add scoring should be directed to the tournament referee or tournament director. A STRICT 5 minute warm up will be enforced in all matches. Boys 18's, 16's, 14's, and Girls 18's consolation brackets have no time listed on the consolation final. In accordance with USTA Georgia rules no more than three matches per day may be played in singles. We will have to watch the draws develop to see if these finals can be played and match times will be set then. It looks like the boys would go at 6:30 and the girls 7:30 if these matches can be played. We will make this determination as soon as the draw allows on Sunday. A Sunday weather update will be posted here by 6:00am.
