NEW MATCH TIMES! EVERYONE READ!
The outdoor site will be unplayable this weekend. This has forced me to move all matches indoor at the Mayodan Family YMCA. I have changed the times for almost all divisions so please check your new time. We will be playing very late into Saturday night to complete this tournament. Also with only 2 courts, getting behind can happen very easily so please arrive early so we can get you on early if there is an open court.
Thank you all for your patience and I look forward to a great weekend of tennis!
Also a reminder that we will have breakfast and lunch for players and guest!

Weather Update Thursday 6:00 p.m.
Tournament is still on. Greensboro and Mayodan received about 4/5 inches
of snow (mainly powder - not ice). The roads are good in the area and around town. Always watch for black ice
if you are scheduled for late night/early morning matches.
We are trying to get the outdoor site playable by Saturday but if we can not then we will have to move all matches indoors which will impact our match times. If we are unable to play any matches outdoors then we will have to revert to very late match times, so please be prepared and be sure to check the site for updates tomorrow!
Looking forward to seeing
everyone for Indoor Tennis!

MATCH TIMES
Due to the large number of entrants and the fact that we only have 2 courts to work with, we will be playing late both Saturday and Sunday. If you are one of the people to play late then I will give you plenty of time to sleep in the next day. I understand many of these times are not ideal waiting times but please be understanding. I look forward to seeing you all this weekend!

There will be no Friday play for this tournament, but we will start at 8 a.m Saturday and Sunday.
