Mixed Doubles
UPDATE 4:30pm: Weather Update: It is raining again at Ramona. Another hour to dry the courts once the rain stops. This confirms that we made the right decision.
UPDATE 9:55am
Players,
One of the hardest decisions a Tournament Director of an outdoor tournament has to make is whether or not to cancel a day of play. Today, unfortunately, is that day. Looking closely at the radar, it appears the high probability of rain will not end until close to 11:30 a.m. We'll need over an hour to dry the courts, even if we get some sunshine. Even reducing each game to one game to 11, win by 2, we would not complete all the matches before dark. There is another system expected in at 4:00pm. We don't feel it's fair to get half the players to play and not the other half. We deeply regret having to make this decision, but hope you understand.
Sunday looks promising, we hope to see you all there. Ladies, we hope you had fun yesterday!
Jim Hackenberg,
Tournament Director
******RAIN DELAY*****
Well, the rain looks like it might be out of the area by 10:00am. We'll need at least an hour to get the courts playable. Therefore, play today is suspended until 11:00am. All start times will be moved back 3 hours and all games will be played to 11, win by 2 in order to attempt to get all matches completed before dark. We know some of you may withdraw due to weather delay, so please let us know if you decide not to play. Hopefully, with no additional rain in afternoon, we can get today's Mixed doubles competition completed.
Watch here for further updates.
