SCHEDULING OF THE 60, 65, 70, 75 SINGLES
We have a record number of players this year, so I have scheduled anyone with a match in the first and second rounds of these divisions on Monday. Depending on the draw, this means you may have a skip day if you are a round ahead of your next opponent. Doing this, we are able to utilize the courts available more efficiently. Please check the draw closely the night before your match. Thank you. Sam Vuille
