DRAWS POSTED 2:55PM FRIDAY JULY 28
Draws are posted. Make sure you check your MATCH SITE as well as your Match Time. ALL B/G 18's SINGLES AND DOUBLES WILL PLAY AT CHAMPIONS CLUB SATURDAY. B/G 16's will be split at alternate sites. Players should not have to change sites between Singles matches on Saturday, but many of you WILL change sites for Doubles. As much as possible, I've tried to schedule Doubles matches at the site of the player with the latest singles start time.
Because we have a lot of tennis to play on Saturday, and with the chances of stray afternoon storms this time of year, we are going to begin play at 8:00 Saturday morning with Singles. We will play 2 Rounds of Singles followed by Doubles.

Tournament Hotels:
Below you will find a link to the websites for our tournament hotels. Downtown Chattanooga is a charming area and has a lot to offer in the way of local restaurants and attractions, but will be a more expensive location to stay.
The Hamilton Place Mall area has a great selection of popular chain restaurants and is a more economical area to stay.
Downtown is the closest to all of our sites. It is about 10 minutes from the Champions Club, and less to GPS and McCallie. Hamilton Place Mall area is about 15 minutes from The Champions Club, and 20 minutes to GPS and McCallie. Traffic on Monday and Tuesday morning could lengthen this commute.
