SATURDAY WEATHER/TOURNAMENT UPDATE - POSTED AT 9:00 A.M.
Times are now rescheduled and posted. We have switched to short scoring for today for all events. Two sets to 4 by 2 and a 10 pt match tiebreak in lieu of a third set. No-ad scoring. I will update you at 10:15 a.m. to let you know if we can start at 11:30 a.m.

SATURDAY WEATHER UPDATE - POSTED AT 7:00 A.M.
As I anticipated, the courts are definitely soaked from overnight rain. We will not be starting any matches at 8:30 a.m. and I am going to have to redo the schedule and modify the scoring format for today. No matches will start before 11:30 a.m. I will update you at 10:15 a.m. to let you know if we will be able to start at 11:30 a.m. or if the start of matches would be later. I am going to remove the draws to work on them.

FRIDAY WEATHER UPDATE - POSTED AT 8:30 A.M.
It looks like it is going to rain through the day today and into tonight. That means that there's a chance that the courts could be wet on Saturday morning. Therefore, I will update this site at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday morning to let you know the condition of the courts.
