Schedule Avoidance- Don't ask
Sorry to sound so un-player friendly, but that is just the way it is. In this event, we have players playing in multiple events with multiple people at multiple levels. This is a tournament folks play all year to get in to, so please understand, all divisions should plan to play 1 match per day... no exceptions. The final Sunday is a rain date only, but yes, we have had rain issues 3 of 6 years so be prepared to play all 4 days. Generally, we follow a standard tournament format playing singles first, then doubles, then mixed each day.
