Notes
Congratulations to everyone who participated. We appreciate the
opportunity to have hosted this tournament.
There was only one sportsmanship nominee from multiple people.
Congratulations to Aaron Ingram in the Boys 14s for being our
Sportsmanship Recipient.
Additional practice courts are available at Lincoln Southeast High
School.
Draws are posted. Happy 4th! Having said that, if you have a need
to get in touch with me today I will not be checking e-mail until
late, late tonight as I will now be with my family. I will reply on
Thursday and appreciate your understanding.
Both Friday and Saturday there will more than likely be a back up
in the middle of each day but the end of the day will finish on
time. We ask people to be patient during any backlog in matches and
to continue to check in early because it will loosen up and if
players are on site and ready when we get ahead again we will
finish at decent a time.
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 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.
