Weather Update: Sunday 6AM
It is wet and rainy out, and doesn't look like it will dry out any time soon. Matches are moved indoors for now until things clear up. The indoor site is Lifetime Fitness Oakdale Village, 1201 Ford Road, Minnetonka.
Please be aware that since our number of courts are limited, we will be using an alternate scoring format. Until we get all 6 courts, we will be playing short sets (start each set at 2-2) with a 10 point tiebreak if you split sets. We are asking players to keep their warmups to 5 minutes if at all possible. I know, we aren't happy about the format either. But we need to get through the tournament and try to stick to the posted schedule as much as we can.
Feel free to call the tournament desk at 763-458-1001 and check to see how behind we are. We will have the French Open match on the TV. So you can get comfortable and watch it with a group of other tennis fans.

Draws are out!
Please check all rounds for match times if you are in a round robin. We did not necessarily schedule round robins chronologically.
We did our best to accomodate schedule requests, but were not able to honor every request. Also, you may notice a bit of a bunched up schedule if you are a doubles player playing more than one event, especially on Sunday. After some of the singles results come through Saturday we will have a better idea of when people are playing and can reschedule these matches if necessary.

Player Perks
We have a lot of fun things planned for this tournament. Check it out below:
- Andy Raak, massage therapist from Meridian Bodywork, will be on-site Saturday from 10am-4pm. Andy will be providing free 10 minute sessions to all tournament participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Use this 10 minute session to warm up your muscles before a match, cool down and relieve tension after a match or get some general relaxation and stress relief in your shoulders, back and neck. Andy has worked extensively with athletes from many arenas and we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to experience the benefits of sports bodywork.

- Free Naked Juice for all players while supplies last.
