Doubles/Partners
Note: The tournament does not find doubles partners for you. If you have a partner, both players need to email me at okctenniscenter@att.net to indicate they are playing together by 6/29/19 at Noon. If you do not have a partner you have two options if you are wanting to play doubles. 1. You may ask to be placed in the blind draw. 2. At the Players Check-In, you may sign up that you're looking for a partner. During the check-in process you will have time to meet other players looking for partners. Note: if there is an odd number of players requesting to be in the blind draw someone will not be paired up. I will make the doubles draw following the Players Check-in.

Player Check in
Our player check-in will be from 5:00-6:30pm Friday June 28th. Please attend if at all possible.

The Doubles draw will be made immediately following the player check in.
