Update Sunday 7:15pm:
I just want to clarify that accordingly to the USTA this tournament is officially over at midnight tonight... Any matches not played by then will go down as unplayed, however I will still try and push any matches you can complete over the next day or so through. These were unusual circumstances with tropical storm Barry. I'm sure we weren't the only tournament in the south affected by this storm. I'm sure Cindy will do what she can but these decisions usually come down from Sothern's, so they will have the last say. If you have questions concerning Arkansas Cup points you will need to direct those to Brandon...

Final Update Sunday 3:30pm
Unfortunately we are canceled out for the rest of the day. If you were unable to finish today I will contact you about finishing it up over the next day or so if possible on your own schedule. There will be no guarantees with the USTA in whether or not the will accept the results points wise after midnight tonight but we can try. Worst case scenario we can hand out some trophies. Thanks again for participating in the tournament. Travis

Sunday 7:20am update:
So here is my plan... I have four matches from last night that were in progress and never had a chance to finish along with another four matches scheduled for this morning at 7 or 8am that I would like to find a way to get in this morning. This would bring every draw in the tournament to the finals or final round of a round robin draw. This would also include the consolation finals as well. If you had a 7am or 8am match scheduled for this morning, or were unable to finish last night, keep your phones handy as I try and find a way to wrap those up. The rest of Sundays tournament is under a extended delay so check back every couple hours for an update.

Sunday 6:30am update:
Its currently raining here so all matches this morning are delayed.... This may be a long delay. I will update once again at 7am.

Saturday 8:15pm Update:
I will be posting the revised draws at 8:15pm. Some of you found indoor courts this evening and finished up your Saturday matches while others will still need to finish theirs up in the morning. The draws posted are your match times. Several match times were adjusted, especially in the am. Those matches starting at 7am will continue with regular scoring, however all matches from 8am on will be no-add unless the weather forecast changes for the better. You may or may not play on clay tomorrow. I will continue with the same format we've had all weekend, but if we fall behind all matches will go on with no bias to surface. I appreciate everyone's patience this evening.... Next update will be a weather update Sunday 6:30am... Travis

Saturday 6:15pm update:
Rain is here to stay so all matches here at Chenal are canceled out for the rest of this evening. So here is the plan for Sunday am... If you were currently on the court at the start of the rain delay you will resume your match at Chenal Sunday at 7am. The rest of the 5:30,6:30, and 7:30pm matches that did not go on this evening will check back in to play Sunday morning (tomorrow) 8am. If you were originally scheduled to play Sunday morning at 8am you will now be pushed back to 9am. The rest of Sundays draw times will be adjusted by me over the next couple hours based on no add scoring to help move the tournament along in the morning. Check back in a couple hours and all these adjustments I've mentioned above will be made to the draw. The draws will not be available to look at during this time. Thanks Travis
