NorCal Girls' 18 & 16 Junior Sectional Championships @ Fremont Tennis Center

Due to complications with the 16 doubles pairings, doubles for Girls 16's will start June 15th. We are working on Sunday June 9th schedule and will have it published by 8pm tonight. Match schedules for the second weekend will be published by June 11th.
This weekends revised schedule is below..
Saturday June 8th
16's & 18's Main Draw and Consolation - Rounds 1 and 2
Sunday June 9th
16's & 18's Main Draw Singles - Round 3 & 4
16's & 18's Consolation Singles - Round 3 & 4
18 Girls Doubles - Round 1 & 2

All 16's doubles players..... we received many entries that were not confirmed by both players. In order to for a partnership to be accepted both players must either register before the entry deadline indicating each other as partners OR email the tournament director by the noon on the Monday before the tournament, again both players must confirm the partnership. The rationale behind this is to prevent players from registering with a partner that has no intention of playing with them.
Due to so many incorrect entered partnership we are moving the 16's doubles to the second weekend to allow all players time to confirm partnerships. The new deadline to confirm partners is noon Monday June 10th.
