Men's Singles Draw to be remade Thursday night, Au
Attention Men's Singles Players. A seeded player has withdrawn from the tournament and after consultation with USTA Nationals the decision is to remake the singles draw. I apologize for the inconvieince but am having to follow the rules. I'm hoping the day you play and the time you play doesn't change but there will be some players affected. I'm remaking the draw at 4:00 pm today MST with the USTA referee and should have the new draw with dates and times posted by late tonight. I will also call everyone to make sure you know what's going on. Also the doubles draw has been changed due to a seeded player withdrawing. Here it was decided that we are adjusting the seeds and no remake draw is required.

DRAWS ARE POSTED
The draws for men's/women's singles and men's/women's doubles are now posted. Please check your dates and times. The mixed doubles event starts Tuesday and I'll make the draw Sunday.

Preliminary seeds have been posted
Please review the seeding and let me know if there should be changes. I've consulted with the USTA seeder and used ranking lists and head to head comparisons to come up with the seeds. Other factors include past results in the 55's and 60's played in Boise and recent results from Cat 1 and 2 tournaments. You have until this Friday, August 9th to respond otherwise I'll continue with the draws. I'm leaving the mixed doubles event open until the tournament starts and there are a few players in the men's doubles and mixed event that need to be coupled so let me know who you are with.

Players - You can enter three events - singles, doubles and
mixed. If you're coming in earlier than Sunday then you'll need to
contact me directly on practice courts. Practice courts are
available. A Modified Feed-In Consolation Format will be used for
the men's events. The first two rounds in singles and doubles feed
into the consolation draw. For the ladies, they'll have a Full
Feed-in Consolation. Since you're here you might as well play.
