SUNSET HILLS CC JR WINTER OPEN CHPS - GA LEVEL 4 - TOURNAMENT CANCELLED-WEATHER

ALL TOURNAMENT PLAY IS CANCELLED It is now Sunday 6:45am and we still have some icy spots in the back of the courts. We are unsure if they will melt in time for play so out of a concern for safety we will have to cancel the tournament. My staff and I spent five hours yesterday working to clear the courts but they were still a little damp at the back fence line when we left last night at 8:00pm. This has refrozen and has made conditions unsafe for play. Please see the rainout/weather policy below for detail on refunds and credits. Please send me an e-mail at Michael@sunsethillstennis.com and let me know if you would like a credit toward a future tournament, we have 8 more this year or a refund check. Sorry guys, we hate this more than you but this one was out of our hands.

In the event of inclement weather and you do not play any matches in this tournament you are entitled to a full credit toward a future Sunset Hills Tournament. There are eight tournaments left for 2010. If a player would like a refund, you are entitled to a $30.00 refund. Please understand that tournaments have fixed costs which include: Trophies, T-shirts, Balls, USTA Referees, and many other costs that we must cover. The tennislink portion of your entry fee is non-refundable in accordance with USTA policy. If you do complete a match there is no refund/credit. Thank you for your understanding.

Sunday play is on! We have changed the draw for a 10am start. PLEASE RECHECK YOUR DRAW!!!! All match times listed are correct. Some of the later matches in the day may or many not happen after reviewing the rules with GTA. We can only play 3 matches in a day no matter the format. If you see a later match without a time listed that match may or may not happen depending on how the draw develops. We will be using short sets (starting at 2 -2) but will be using regular scoring with a 10 point tiebreak. PLEASE RECHECK HERE BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE COURTS IN THE MORNING.

The ice/snow is now off the courts and we are working to dry them before the temps drop below freezing. Sorry for the delay but please check back after 7:00pm for a final decision about Sunday play.

We had an error in scheduling for the girls 14s. It has now been corrected. The only match changed was the last match of the round robin. Please recheck your draw if you are in the G14.

O.K. here is the plan. The new draws are up for Sunday play. We will be using a modified scroing format to make the matches go quicker. All matches will use no-ad scoring, sets will begin at 2-2 (short sets), a 10 point tie-break will be played if you split the sets. This will limit the time each match will take to allow for more play. With this shortened format playes can play up to four matches in a day in accordance with USTA regulations. With all this said we still have ice and snow in the back of our courts where there is some shade from the windscreens. If this does not melt before sundown we MAY have to cancel the tournament. Please check here after 6:00pm for a decision about Sunday play.

All Saturday play is cancelled due to the snow covered courts and icy roads. I have taken the draws off-line and will rework them for Sunday play. Please check back after 3:00pm for a Sunday schedule.

No match play before 1:00pm Saturday. All match play has been rescheduled to allow for the snow that is now falling. We are concerned that the courts will not be playable in the morning and have reworked the match schedules to allow us to start in the afternoon on Saturday. PLEASE RECHECK YOUR DRAW. All match times have been updated on the draws, several matches have been moved from Saturday to Sunday. I will post a weather update for Saturday by 10:00am

I'm sure everyone has seen the forecast for snow on Friday and is wondering about tournament play for this weekend. We will watch the weather and court conditions on Friday and will post updates with any delays here. I will post another update here by Friday at 6:00pm with any additional information.

Due to the forecast of snow we have scheduled no Friday play.
