We understand the challenges everyone has with the weather and travel plans for this weekend. We are doing everything in our power to play the tournament this weekend and almost got some matches started this afternoon before the last downpour occurred. We will not cancel the tournament until we have exhausted all 4 days of the event. We are already shortening the format for singles. All matches Saturday will be short sets (starting at 2-all), ad scoring with a 10 point match tie break for the third. Any players who choose to withdraw due to the weather will not be penalized in any way. Be sure to email me with the name and age division if you decide you need to withdraw.
