Rain Delay / Weather update (as of 6:02am)
Due to rain, we are going to postpone 8am matches to 10am, 9am & 9:30 matches to 11am, and 10am matches to 12am. We will still hold the luncheon in the Bentwood Clubhouse 11-2 so players can have a chance to eat.

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.
