TAHHI Classic Deadline Today -- Men's, Women's, Mixed Postponed by Crappy Weather
HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) -- Today at 5 p.m. is the new deadline for the TAHHI Tennis Classic that was postponed from this weekend to next because of the weather. Entries were re-opened following the postponement. "We'll probably lose some players and gain some players," Tournament Director Jackie Reynecke said, "but the weather left us no choice and no other weekends are open."
Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center will host the event that includes with rated men's and women's singles and doubles and mixed doubles divisions. Rated categories will be 2.5 through 5.0 and Open. Players are limited to two events. TAHHI members get an entry fee break: $45 for one event; nonmember fee is $55. Add $10 if entering a second event. Player hospitality is sponsored by Larry's Giant Subs.
Players already entered in the TAHHI event will not have to re-enter for next weekend. Reynecke said that new start times and draws will be made available Wednesday after 2 p.m. Call the pro shop at 785-1152.
The postponement puts the event in date conflict with the USTA-sanctioned age- and rating-division Daufuskie Island Adult Championships, but Reynecke said very few players play both. For those who do, Reynecke said, special effort will be made to adjust for that schedule.
Further complicating match times for next weekend is the fact that USTA League Adult Division had open dates this weekend so players could enter the TAHHI Classic with no conflict with the team league schedule. All the teams are back on schedule Saturday and Sunday. Coordinators are trying to coordinate times and allow match switching if conflicts can't otherwise be alleviated. As usual, all shifting of times and dates are to get okay from level coordinators. (Coordinator list below)
