I posted the times right at 7:00 p.m. tonight. Tomorrow we are going to play 1 round of doubles in the morning followed by 3 rounds of singles. We will try to play the finals if we can and maybe additional doubles. The format will be no-ad scoring for all events. 6-game set for doubles and short sets to 4 by 2 in singles. I will update this site at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday morning to let you know if courts are playable.

SATURDAY, WEATHER UPDATE, 12:00 P.M.
Well, we made a rookie tournament error today and forgot to hide the draw while working on it. Hence, no times are official until we post at 2 p.m. : ) No match will start before 5 p.m.

SATURDAY, WEATHER/TOURNAMENT UPDATE - POSTED AT 8:30 A.M.
I think it's safe to say that no matches will start before 2:00 p.m. I will update you again at 12:30 p.m. By then I will probably have an indoor schedule for doubles to start after 2 p.m. If you are in a hotel close to Lifetime, I would recommend going to Peachtree Corners Town Center for dining. The address is 5200 Town Center Blvd, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092. Plenty of great restaurants!!

SATURDAY WEATHER/TOURNAMENT UPDATE - POSTED AT 7:00 A.M.

FRIDAY TOURNAMENT UPDATE - POSTED AT 7:00 P.M.
I rescheduled the first round of doubles for Saturday morning. The singles time will stay the same for now. I will update this website at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. If it is wet in the morning with no chance of drying, we will make a plan to play some doubles inside starting probably around 5 p.m. Members are using the indoor courts before that.

FRIDAY WEATHER UPDATE
It rained right around 5 p.m. and the courts are soaked. We are cancelled for the night. You can still check in at Lifetime and Hudlow tonight. We have a great long sleeved dri fit game time tshirt. We will be at Hudlow and Lifetime until 7:00 p.m . I will give you another tournament update at 8:00 p.m. tonight about our plan for tomorrow.
