Match Times and Locations:
Players are reminded to pay particular attention to the abbreviation located next to their match time as this indicates the match location. Some locations will change from Saturday to Sunday. Also, it is a good practice to re-check your time on Friday evening to make sure that a withdrawal has not occurred which could change your first match time. The TD will send and email to all players who have received a withdrawal. All Saturday match times have been posted. If you do not see a time, it will occur on Sunday. NO FRIDAY matches! Expect Sunday matches to play early.
