OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!

Finals

Congrats to our 1st winners:
- Men's 4.5 Singles:
    Pedro Pozzobon def. Alejandro Koenig 6-3, 6-0
- Women's 3.5 Doubles:
    Alexandra Rattinger/Marissa Reichel (round robin)

Due to an event conflict because the finals were supposed to be last weekend, there will not be a BBQ as it is being used already - Sorry :-(

Finals / Weather Update
Hello Everyone,

For the 1st time in 19 years the weather is not going to cooperate.  The forecasts call for rain for the next 5 days along with 20-30 mile an hour winds which means the cancellation of numerous semi-final matches that were to be played over the next couple days and the finals this weekend :-(  Therefore...

Finals are postponed until next weekend.

More info to follow.

Draw Sheets
The draws are being worked on and will be sent out starting with the largest draws first.  If your draw is listed on the Draws page and you did not receive the Round 1 Information email, let us know

Round 1 Information Email
All players will receive an email with their 1st round opponent(s) name and their contact info.  Contact information is not on the website so keep this email :-)  The full draw sheet can be seen on the website.

For subsequent rounds, players automatically receive an email with their opponent's contact info as the opponent is determined - except for Round Robins where all the information is in the 1st email.

Match Format
The tournament will be using the standard 2-out-of-3 sets format with the 3rd set being a 10-point tie-breaker (first to 10; win by 2).  If all players agree, a full 3rd set can be used (but be careful if you are playing at a site where you only have 2 hours).

Switching Sides in a Doubles Tie-Breaker
Tie-breaks will use standard tie-break format - switching sides every 6 points.  If all players agree, the USTA Coman tie-break format can be used: switch after the first point and then every 4 points thereafter.

Deadlines
Each round has a deadline for match to be played.  The dates vary depending on draw size so be sure to check the dates for each draw you are in.  If for some reason you feel you cannot complete your match by the deadline (weather, can't reach the other players, etc.), you need to notify us at least 2 days prior to the deadline.

To make it a fun and fair experience for everyone, deadlines will be enforced

Posting Match Results
Winners should report match results online as soon as possible after the match.  The first time you go to enter a score you will be asked for a password - it was included in your Entry Confirmation email and in the Officially Underway email.

Doubles Scheduling Tip

When scheduling a doubles match, partners should talk to each other and come up with days/times they can play and then contact the other team.  The other team should talk to each other about those days and then respond - either choosing one of those days or offering alternatives. 

Communication should be as a team avoiding all the back-and-forth emails as one partner says they can, then the other says they can't, etc.

If a team sends an email offering dates/times and you want to email your partner to see it any of those days are good DO NOT use 'Reply All' - send the email to just your partner - the other team does not need to be involved in the emails between teammates and it creates confusion when one partner says they can and then later the other partner says they can't.

Question: Who provides the balls?
Both players/teams bring a new can of balls.  The winner of the match gets the unopened can.
