WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER
In the event the tournament experiences inclement weather please follow these helpful instructions.
For the most up-to-the minute tournament messages, follow me on TWITTER at http://twitter.com/catadirector. In addition,
I routinely (every 1 to 1 1/2 hours) update this website with details about weather delays, and when play is anticipated to resume. If you do not have internet access readily available to you, your hotels generally do in their business centers. Please use their internet services to access our tournament homepage for updates. This will help you know when to return to your site for match play and help the tournament run more smoothly by reducing unnecessary phone calls.
