MONDAY WARM-UP COURT ASSIGNMENTS
Warm up assignments are not mandatory. They are simply assigned as a convenience for players to warm up. If your match time does not allow for a warm up from 8-8:50a, most likely courts on 5th street or indoors will be available after 8:50 to allow for a warm-up.
We ask that players be prepared to warm up their fellow competitors if a hitting partner is not available during the 8-8:50a hour. This could involve 3-4 player per court to help competitors warm up. Good sportsmanship is appreciated in helping warm up your fellow competitors for the final day of play.
8-8:50a Court 1 / 11
Kershner / Youngberg Court 2 / 12
Maltby / Novak Court 3 / 13
Bhakta / Young Court 4 / 14
Gidwani / Shah Court 5 / 15
Tankimovich / Pal / Sears Court 6 / 16
Zaslow / Carnicella Court 7 / 17
