MONDAY !!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATS ON MAKING THE LAST DAY !! Well we all made it to Monday, a little tired but relatively unscathed !! Please remember that we still have a TON of matches left to play in this tournament AND we really cant move any matches up in time to accomodate a travel schedule. Unfortunately unlike most OUTDOOR tournaments, we dont have a large 30-60 court facility to play at...... but unlike outdoor tournaments, you are GUARANTEED of playing !! See you tomorrow !!!

TENNISLINK ERROR NOW FIXED !!!
The Tennis Link error was fixed overnight by the great support staff from Active.com. ALL DRAWS ARE NOW UPLOADED AND CURRENT !!! This is what your non refundable extra charge on your entry fee is for is to power the Tennis Link website. Without this great site and support, tournaments would be much more difficult.... so if you EVER wanted to know what that extra charge or the weird number on the entry fee, this is the reason why it is there !!
