THANK YOU for playing in our LLP Peach Open Tournament.
All draws are posted for the tournament. Please check your draw/ bracke time and arrive 30 minutes before the bracket start time, even if you have a Bye in the first round. Please note that only Round Robin draws are posted. We will have Playoffs (and may have consolation matches if we have 2 groups) matches immediately after the Round Robin. Please do NOT go home just because you lost a couple of games in the Round Robin.
Last minute dropout? I know things happen last minute. If you or your partner may not be able to make it, please text or call me immediately and I'll update the brackets or replace the player for a $10 fee.
Volunteers: We are looking for anyone (preferably not playing at that time) to be our volunteers to help with scoresheets, giving out medals, take pictures, sales of Hats and T-shirts etc. If you volunteer for more than 4 hours, you will get a free lunch/ dinner, Free entree to our next tournament, along with a free LLP apparel.
Rainout: Weather looks shady on Friday and Saturday. Please check TOURNEY TALK (messages on A2M Sports Mobile App) for updates. Its a good time to get the A2M Sports App, as it sends notifications if there is any update. We will NOT send email and the best place is to check the Tourney Talk or Messages in the App. If its going to rain on Friday, some of the Singles matches will be held on Sunday after 3PM. If we are completely washed out on Saturday, we may do a make up session next Saturday. Its NOT guaranteed, so, please wait for my email if we are doing a make up session. We may not have playoff if it rains during the round robin. You will not wait more than 3 hours to play. If we have to cancel the whole event without playing even the Round Robin matches, you will get $15 coupon for each event cancelled. I hope we don't have to use that. If you have a mobile app, you will get notifications when I post a message on Tourney Talk. If there is no delay, no messages will be posted.
Blower/ Squeezies: There are a bunch of Squeegies at the park. I will bring a leaf blower and many towels to dry courts. Please bring a leaf blower if you can spare one. Any players who gets to help, will be a star volunteer and you will get a free LLP Wristband, Hat or Visor for your helping hand.
Rules for all LLP tournaments:
- Do NOT get hurt. Please listen to your body and not to your mind, and certainly not your partner :).
