Draws have been posted. With such a large draw it is projected that
matches will take place Friday and Saturday from 9am-9pm and Sunday
9am-7pm. We appreciate everyone's patience as we attempted to make
scheduling work the best we possibly could. WE FULLY ANTICIPATE
BEING BACKLOGGED during mid day on Friday and Saturday. Having
said that, THE BEST WAY TO HELP US AVOID THIS SCENARIO IS TO
CHECK IN 30 MINUTES EARLY for matches especially those earlier
in the day when we anticipate being ahead of schedule. If we are
ahead and people are checking in early we are more probably to be
close to on time. Should we fall behind please understand that all
matches are still expected to finish by 9pm each night.
Additional practice courts are available at Lincoln Southeast High
School.
Out of consideration for those driving as many as 8 hours to
participate we are attempting to end no later than early afternoon
Sunday so folks can get on the road. Because of that some divisions
will play as early as 9am Friday. Both Friday and Saturday will be
busy days and we ask that everyone check in for matches 30 minutes
in advance of their posted match time to assist us in keeping
everything on schedule. Thank you for understanding and
assisting.
Warm up courts will be available NO EARLIER than 8am outdoors each
day. There may be limited indoor courts available at the regular
court rental rate and available to reserve at the front desk.
This tournament uses a Single Elimination Format for doubles and
FIC-QF or FIC-SF in singles depending on the number of entrants. It
is not a Non-Elimination Tournament as the original tournament
listing still shows in some places online. Doubles are all single
elimination.
