Notes
Saturday/9/29/530pm: Sunday times are up for all matches. Highly
recommended to look online (right here at this page) for updates on
weather and if there is a 'slight' delay...(otherwise, you may be
here earlier than required - and once again, no big deal, cause
Marco will be around to visit with you...just bring some donuts
with you and he'll be happy to chit chat!)
Friday 615pm: CHECK DRAWS. New times for many many matches!
(however, if you don't check it, you may be earlier than expected -
and that's ok...you can hang out at one of the nicest clubs and
chit chat with marco and he'll tell you stories about how he earned
the 'employee of the month award' at Salt Creek!)
FRIDAY: ALL FRIDAY MATCHES CANCELELD. We are in the process of
scheduling new times for all draws. Check your specific draw soon
since ALL match times may be changed!
Friday 1:30pm: Weather is dry at Salt Creek so 4/430pm matches are
currently going to play. DO check back here for updates.
Fri/9/28:G12 draw is posted.(IMPORTANT: READ THIS) WEDNESDAY Sept
26: Always check back here for updates! (changes due to weather
etc.) DRAWS AND TIMES ARE UP FOR ALL FRIDAY MATCHES! If any matches
get rained out on Friday - that means your Saturday times could be
changed also. Some events don't start until Saturday. FYI, G12's
draw is still being made (registration open) (G12 will NOT play on
Friday).TRAVEL/TRAFFIC PROBLEMS on Ogden ave, near 294. (If you
take the 294/Ogden exit - YOU WILL BE LATE! 30 minutes at a
minimum! Take a different route!)
(plan ahead so you won't be that guy who calls to say that you are
stuck on Ogden and are running late)
Salt Creek Observer, "Marco Veverka is an 'average/everyday man'.
No noteworthy accolades, but he puts his pants on one leg at a time
and is consistent with his work/family so we reward him with the
closest parking spot to the courts since he's employee of the
month/and a tournament named after him - maybe you'll go as far
athletically too!"

when you do it, it is not all mixed up!'
