OTC Juniors: Club Champs Singles Draws

Hi ,

I have just published the club champs singles draws for Sunday April 3, 2016.

http://tnz.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/tournament.aspx?id=5C431418-BF18-4039-89F0-748960AD4673

Remember to bring your lunch and snacks for the day.

Players are not to leave the venue without speaking first to either Fred or myself.

For the BS12s and BS14s, there may be a bit of waiting between matches because 1 draw has 9 players and the other 10. Patience is required. Perhaps you may want to bring some games to play ... I have seen some kids at tournaments with packs of cards etc. Homework perhaps?

I am going to be running the Hotshots and 10s near court 9 and Fred all other draws from the control room.

For those NOT playing at 9:00am, the scheduled time for your first match is an approximate time as we do not know how long the 1st round of matches will take to play.

IMPORTANT: Remember Daylight Savings ends on Sunday morning.

Regards Julia Kleve
(Junior Coordinator)

Warm up for each match is maximum 5 minutes.

Match winners will report the scores by returning the score boards and balls to either myself or Fred.

Weather: My weather APP is telling me that the weather for Sunday will be cloudy with a little rain. Only if the weather on the day looks worse will I postpone.
