Sunday 5:)00AM update
The courts are dry. The weather report showing the rain could hold off several more hours. We will plan on playing as much as we can until the courts are wet. Next update by 6:45 or if the weather changes before that. .
|
IMPORTANT UPDATE: SATURDAY , 9 AM
We are adding a round of main draw (semi finals) and consolation (quarterfinal round) to all of the round of 16 draws, to be played Saturday. The draws adding these rounds are ; G10, B12,G14, B14, G16, and B16's. Unfortunately, we cannot add a round of consolation in the 32 draws because it would lead to 4 matches for some players. That is a final decision. This will cause a pretty long day, but with Sunday's weather prediction it is the best way to play the most tennis. Also, I would like to thank everyone for their efforts in getting doubles finished last night.

This is an Alabama Level 2 event and a Southern Level 3 event.
Draw size limits are 32 in B/G 10-18. Players will be selected
based on STA guidelines for STA level 3 events.
Youth Progression for 10 and under Events:
All Players ages 10 and under must play thru the new Youth Progression System. Starting with 2017 Tournaments players will only be allowed to enter tournaments at their approved level or one level below. No playing up will be allowed. In general players will find the progression from Orange 2(entry Level, will count as a level 5) to Orange 1(intermediate Level will count as a level 4) the quickest, then from Orange 1 to Green Level 10's(Advanced will count as at least a level 3) slightly more difficult, then from Green Level 10's to Yellow Ball play in 12's more difficult. Once a player ages up to 11 they will be eligible for Yellow Ball Play automatically. We hope the New Progression Pathway will help all players find their natural pathway.
