Weather update Saturday at 7:45 pm
All of the draws have been updated to reflect the new match times for tomorrow morning. Please pay particular attention to your match times. If you have any overlaps or close match times, you will play them in the order that they are scheduled with rest time allowed. These are NOT BEFORE times, like the Pros. What that means is when we have delays, we do our best at approximating times.
GTC match times stayed pretty much the same with the exception of the G16 and G18 singles and Dubs. See Draws> JPii HS matches have been pushed back approx an hour in most cases with some exceptions. See Draws.

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.
