Hello,
I know everyone has been anxiously waiting for this email all summer long, so let’s not delay it any longer. We welcome you all to Plymbledon Tennis Tournament 2018!!
Preview:
This tournament is going to be a seeded tournament as well. Seeding will be assigned based on previous year’s Plymbledon's results, and past tournament performances.
This year we will also have a junior tournament, so please send in entries to the junior tournament as well, it will happen simultaneously with the adult tournament. The junior tournament will start on 23rd at 4:30 or 24th 8:00AM depending on number of participants. (more updates to come).
Important: If you decide play singles and doubles, you are expected to play at least 4 matches in a day, taking into consideration that you keep progressing throughout the tournament. So essentially, you are coming in to the tournament expecting to play 2 singles matches, and 2 doubles matches if you sign up for both events.
Note: One more thing to take into consideration during the tournament is that this is a friendly tournament, so please play with the right spirit as well as keeping it competitive.
Scheduling: Singles at 8:00AM, and Doubles in the evening starting at 4:30PM.
Dress Code: Like Wimbledon, we are requiring everyone to dress up in all white, so try and look your best!
