We are asking for everybody’s cooperation to work together in scheduling your matches and keeping the tennis playoffs on schedule this spring. Please remember that the “play by” date is the date by which the match must be completed and reported to the GHSA. The final day of a “window” is meant to be a last resort if rain has prevented you from playing earlier!
Please do NOT wait until the last day of a “window” to schedule your match and then ask for an extension if you are rained out on that last day. You risk BOTH teams being forfeited out of the tournament! The play windows are bigger than ever this year, so we do not anticipate any problems.
Remember that the restriction on playing during the school day is waived for the state playoffs. You do not have to wait until school lets out to begin play.
To remind you, here are the windows and the potential play dates:
First Round: April 16, 18, 19 & 20 – April 21 is rain day.
Second Round: April 22, 23, 25 & 26 – April 27 is rain day.
Quarterfinals: April 28, 29, 30 & May 2 – May 3 is rain day.
Semifinals: May 4, 5, 6 & 7 – May 9 is rain day.
As you can see, there are four (4) potential playing dates BEFORE the final day of each window so there is no need for anybody to wait until the final day of a window to schedule a match!
Please report your results promptly so that we can keep the brackets on the GHSA web site up to date. You can e-mail results to Tennis Coordinator Steve Figueroa at stevefig@ghsa.net.
