LPTC INTERNET DOWN ALL AFTERNOON
We are switching locations but unfortunately the internet is down and we still have little changes to make before going live so 10PM reveal not going to happen. The other problem is TENNISLINK will be offline after midnight so we are working feverishly to get things in order. So please be patient and we will reveal times and draws ASAP. You can thank COMCAST!
