THE BIG "R" POLICY
IF MATCHES ARE RESCHEDULED BECAUSE OF WEATHER, I WILL POST INSTRUCTIONS ON THE TOURNAMENT WEBSITE! In case of RAIN - please do not leave the site. Weather can change quickly and matches may be resumed sooner than you think. Even if the weather looks "iffy" where you are (unless otherwise instructed by a Tournament Official) always go to your site to check in for your match, regardless of weather conditions. If there is a rain delay, alternative instructions will be provided at the Tournament Desk. Playing indoors will be a last resort and every effort will be made to reschedule matches outdoors if weather permits. Players may be sent to alternative locations in order to complete the matches for the day. PLEASE BE PATIENT!!!
