Closing Ceremonies and How the Monday Schedule Will Work
There will be THREE 8:00 AM matches Monday morning. One of them will be the Championship Match. The second wave of matches will start around 11:30 - 12:00. Everything but the championship match will be singles only. We would like for the teams from the second wave to arrive at 11:00 AM and gather under the covered area adjacent to court #1. This is where we will meet and award the player medals and awards. After the awards, teams will disperse to their courts and play their final round. We will get the match schedule posted as soon possible so parents can plan their departure.

Departure Time for Monday
We have received a few phone calls about when we will finish on Monday. It is close to impossible to predict simply because we have no idea who will be in the finals, which teams will have 8:00 AM starts and which teams will start in the second time slot. We should finish earlier than the first 4 days because Monday will be all singles and no doubles. I would start with 3:30 PM as the earliest possible time and work from there. But no definites for sure. I cannot schedule pairings until we finish today, although I may be able to start once we get close to finishing this afternoon. Rest assured, I will move as quickly as results will allow.

Game Day is Rescheduled for Sunday at 4:00 PM
On Sunday, July 5th we have a company coming in who specializes in parties and creating fun events for groups. They were with us last year and the kids seemed to love it so we have brought them back. We do this on site immediately following competition. The time frame is typically 4:00 - 7:00 PM. The kids who are playing in the 12:30 PM time slot may not be quite through, but that ends up working out fine since we cannot accomoddate everyone at once anyway. It will be important to remind them to keep hydrating while they are at "Play Day" because they can lose sight of the fact they are still sweating amidst all the fun.
