WATER/ICE
I did forget to mention one important fact. Due to all the safety measures, tournaments are not providing water and ice. So please bring an ample supply of water, gatorade, ice in your cooler, etc. And don't forget to bring your chair to sit as a spectator and especially for sitting on the court.
For emergencies, we will have ice.

MEN'S AND WOMEN'S OPEN PRIZE MONEY!!
We have surpassed our goal of getting 32 player's in the men's open singles so the prize money has increased. With 50 players currently, the men's open singles winner will receive $781.25. Why stop there!! Let's work on getting at least 14 more players so the Men's Open Singles winner can receive $1000. The Women's Open Singles list is also looking great!! We have 31 women which means that the winner would receive $484.37. Let's also get more women players. The more players, the more money!! Looking forward to seeing all of you at the tournament!!!
