DRAWS TAKEN DOWN -- Working late 10pm
We've taken the draws down as we are working on them. We will post them when we finish. They will not be finished until late as nearly everyone will have a different start time. The first matches on Sunday morning will be the five Sat WGHS matches that were scheduled for 4pm that didn't play and the four MS matches that were scheduled for 4:30pm but didn't get played today. These matches will all play best of 3 tiebreak sets with 10-point TB in-lieu of a 3rd set.
After those matches have been played, the Sunday matches originally scheduled for 8am will begin at 11am. Due to the smoke delay, all Consolation matches will play a best to 4 games with a TB at 4-4 for the first 2 sets and a 10-pt tiebreak for the third set. Main draw matches will still play best of 3 tiebreak sets with a 10-pt. Tiebreak in-lieu of a third set.

Tournament delayed, due to air quality -- 3:20pm
At 3:20pm the 10 minute AQI average rose above 150, forcing us to stop play until the level drops below 151. We are in a holding pattern and when and if we resume, the matches that were interrupted will go on first. We will post an update at 4:30pm. We will post when we are back on, thank you for your patience.

6AM Update -- AQ improving, no changes, see you soon!
Remember to get your temp checked before playing, even if you are a spetator and wear a facial covering! We will use hand-held thermometers.. You will receive a sticker to show you've had your temp checked! SJUSD requires everyone to wear a facial covering who is participating in a sponsored event, we will ask you to put your mask on if we see it is off. Thank you!

SAT 5AM Update
Conflicting sensor readings, Willow Glen sensor reads 87 AQI, a sensor south of WG says 152. I've been watching since 4am and sensor closest to WG had readings from 104-127. Will check again at 6am. No change in start time.

FRIDAY 7PM UPDATE -- TOURNAMENT ON, NEXT UPDATE SAT 5AM
Air quality may be an issue this weekend, we will stop play if it rises to 151 and postpone play until it drops below 151 using Purple Air's 10-min average. At this point, no changes to the format. Next update 5am Saturday.
