No Saturday Matches
Due to continued rain, saturated courts and forecast of more rain to come, we will not have any matches today, Saturday. New schedules for ALL draws will be posted in the next couple of hours!

No Saturday Matches Before Noon
The rain continues, but it looks like it may end shortly. However, we are trying to assess if we can get the courts dry in time to have matches today. Will post new plan soon - in the meantime, no matches will start before Noon today!

Saturday Rain Delay - 2 Hours
As we are trying to dry courts, it has started raining again and looks like the band coming through will last at least one hour. As a result, we are delaying by 2 hours this morning. Schedule will be reworked so we can still finish by as close to possible the time promised for 4th of July. Will message again once new schedule for Saturday is posted.
