Draw Information
We look forward to hosting you this weekend at Westport. We are working on the draws and are 99% completed but we are waiting until TH afternoon to post them to see what the forecast is doing. Many of you are playing 2 events which always makes it interesting to schedule. You will notice I may have overlapped your matches depending on if you win or lose your first round but don't worry we will make adjustments as needed as the tournament goes on and you will get some rest in between matches. We are hoping for a nice Friday evening to start matches off & we will be scheduling everything on Fri & Sat with Sun as a backup if we run into weather issues. Look for the draws to be posted by TH afternoon, Thanks!
