Important Tournament Update: Thursday, November 26, 9:30AM
Happy Thanksgiving!!!! THE DOUBLES DEADLINE IS FRIDAY AT 9AM. This should give everyone, every opportunity to play doubles. But, do not come to me after that with a problem that has been on the competitor list for 3 weeks. PLEASE CHECK YOUR DOUBLES STATUS ON THE COMPETITOR LIST ASAP.

*********Important Tournament Update: Wednesday, November 25, 1:14PM Central
The draws are posted. Please continue to check the homepage frequently in case there are issues. Friday will be a pretty long day because we are making more courts available for warm up( AUM and Ida Bell). This year we are dealing with more Holiday court constraints then last year. As a result to make everything fit, players are having to change sites much more than normal. I appreciate everyone working together on this. It's very important that you check sites and times between rounds. With good weather Saturday should be a much shorter day.

PRACTICE / WARM UP COURTS
The playing sites: Lagoon Park, AUM, Huntingdon and Oconnor will be available for warm-up by 7AM on Friday and Saturday.
There will be additional practice courts available at Ida Bell Young Park and AUM after play starts. I am requesting that if needed 4 people will warm up on each court. We will be crowded from 9-11AM, so please share the courts and be courteous to each other.

Tournament Update: Friday, November 13
PLEASE check your doubles status. If you have a request or see an error please let me know by Monday morning at 9AM. We have done the drawing for Random Partners and you should also verify that. We cannot ensure there are an even amount of players on the Random list, but we will allow people to continue to look for partners and we will accept more requests for a Random partner. I will not be returning emails until Monday morning. If you are an original alternate or a late alternate please stay attentive to your emails so I can reach you if there is a spot.

NOTE: Request for Doubles Partners -
A player may email a request to be placed on a random doubles partner pairing list. Once you are paired from this list you will not be allowed to change doubles partners. The random pairing list does not absolutely guarantee a doubles partner is available for pairing. Players on the random doubles list have been paired. If you requested a random partner and have not been paired yet, there was an odd number and you will be paired with the next random partner request. We will have limited email access this weekend. Please check your doubles status so we can correct any errors on Monday.
