***Thank You***
Thank you to all of the players, parents, and coaches for your patience this weekend with the weather. We played 537 matches on Sunday finishing all singles matches and almost all doubles matches. I know there were delays today with court limitations after so much rain, but we did the best we could to play out everything. Thank you to Carlos Lozano at Wild Dunes, Randy Pate/Patrick Heiber/and Robb Eppelsheimer at LTP-Mt. Pleasant, Philip Burke at St. Andrews and Peggy Bohne with the City of Charleston for working with us this weekend to play as much as possible. I hope everyone arrived safely home and that we see you at the next event in Charleston!

SATURDAY UPDATE- 5:00PM
We have rescheduled all of the singles and doubles matches for tomorrow. We will post an update in the morning around 7:15-7:30am. We have spread out to larger facilities in order to play as much as possible. Please pay attention to the site and time as the sites have changed for most divisions. We are using the following sites on Sunday: Charleston Tennis Center(FARM) for G14s, G16s, Kiawah Island (KIAH) for Boys 10s Orange and Green, Girls 10s, Girls 12s, Wild Dunes (WILD) for Boys 14s, Boys 18s, Girls 18s, St. Andrews (Stand) for Boys 12s, and LTP for Boys 16s. We will be playing short sets and no ad all day for singles and and a set to 6 with no ad for doubles. We intend to finish as much as possible depending on court conditions and have scheduled to play the finals in singles and doubles. Because of shortening the format to short sets we are able to play four rounds of singles in one day as well as doubles. The rule can be found on page 87 Table 8 in the Friend of Court where it states we can play "117 games, no more than 88 of which should be singles." Again, if you decide to pull out of the tournament please email me as I will not take a withdrawal over the phone. Thank you.
