DRAWS AND FIRST MATCH TIMES:
I will publish all singles draws this evening at 9:45pm. The doubles draws will be published tomorrow morning by 10:30am. I am still working to find partners for doubles. No doubles will be played Friday. Singles will start Friday in most divisions. We will be playing a Modified Feed in Consolation in singles. Thank you.

Scheduling Information:
Depending on the size of the draws, we may start with singles/or doubles Friday evening. We will also start with doubles on Saturday and Sunday. We feel that playing doubles first each day will allow players to have a good warm up for singles and also won't keep players waiting around all day for doubles when they are finished singles.
