AND THEN THERE WERE 3....

And then there were 3 teams....First serve at our Ladies Championship playoff for 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 begin this Saturday, June 4th at 9:00 a.m. at UT Whitaker courts.  Players may warm up at 8:00 a.m. if desired, but will need to conclude warm-up and report to the Tournament Desk no later than 8:45 a.m. for a brief coordinator fellowship with yours truly, ZOO GIRL.

WARM UP COURTS AT UT WHITAKER HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED FOR YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL; 
                                               3.0 WOMEN - COURTS 11-20
                                               3.5 WOMEN - COURTS 31-40
                                               4.0 WOMEN - COURTS 21-30

THESE WILL BE THE SAME COURTS WHERE YOUR TEAM WILL PLAY YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES FOR THE DAY!  In an effort to keep the playoffs on schedule, following are the........................................RULES OF THE DAY:

1. All Players Clear Courts 8:43 and report to Tournament Desk by 8:45
2. Match Play MUST begin no later than 9:15 am  allowing players for a 10-minute warm-up
3. One hour will be allowed between matches for those teams playing at back to back times, ie 9:00 a.m. match and 12:00 p.m. match
4. Make sure your TEAM brings PLENTY of food, drinks (water, water, water), ICE, ICE CHESTS, Mom, Dad, spouses, friends, and significant others, to cheer for your TEAM when they've done GOOD.
5. Absolutely NO COACHING ALLOWED.  You can say great serve or good shot, but you cannot say hustle up, get to the net, or way to hit to their backhand...You get the point. 
6. Clif Bars and Bananas will be provided compliments of CATA
7. Most importantly............HAVE FUN!

Should be some really good tennis to watch, so I hope you will bring your lawn chairs, favorite beverage (non-alcoholic please) and snacks and sit court-side watching the TOP 3 teams slug it out for the ever coveted bid to Sectionals.  We hope to see you there....For those that are playing in the playoffs, remember to start hydrating BEFORE match day.  It will help you deal with the heat much better. Good luck to ALL the playoff teams.  May the BEST TEAMS WIN and REPRESENT AUSTIN PROUDLY AT SECTIONALS!
