Great job to everyone.  Mark you calendars, next year we are going to host this tournament over Labor Day Weekend.  We think hosting the tournament the weekend before the fall USTA combo season starts, will allow more people to participate and gives us 4 days to run the tournament, starting on Friday night and finishing on Monday – Labor Day.  Paramount Medina’s next adult tournament will be held in January 2012 – over two weekends.  One weekend is designed for all the singles event and then the following weekend for all the doubles events.  Again, a new format that we think will enable more people to participate and make for running a more efficient tournament.
