No Practice Sunday

Howdy Ags!!

Just a reminder that there is no practice tomorrow due to that one football game that everyone's making a big fuss about, and hopefully everyone had a great snowday!

The Waco tournament is coming up this next weekend, and your team captains will be getting in contact with you very soon for practice times, and how your team will be carpooling to Waco on Saturday.  If you're name is not highlighted on the official challenge ladder, then YOU NEED TO LET US KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY.  It is too late to challenge for the Waco tournament, but there is still time to challenge for the sectionals tournament.

Also, if you are wishing to challenge somebody but don't want to be the Facebook creeper sending a message to someone you aren't friends with, y'all can go to the tennis club website and click on the link for 'Official Membership List 2010-2011' and find anyone's phone number and email address as a form of communication to a challengee.  The website is here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AmcA-BwQTgNJdHU4LU9HU3NFSDh2RHBXMUpaX09kc0E&hl=en&output=html

We will only be able to take 8 teams to each tournament, so if you are not satisfied with the team that you are on, be sure to use the challenge system to advance teams.  Please read the challenge rules posted on the website to make sure you know all deadlines and rules for challenges.  For sectionals, the deadline to verbally challenge is Friday, February 11th and the deadline to report a challenge score is Wednesday, February 16th. 

Sectionals will be Friday, Feb. 25th through Sunday, Feb. 27th in Austin, TX.  Team captains will also be contacting you for this tournament, so check the calendar again.  If you are attending sectionals, you will have to miss class ALL DAY on Friday the 25th.  If you are planning to attend sectionals, please begin talking to your professors NOW so that you may arrange to miss class on that day.  If needed, we can get the faculty adviser to write a letter to the professor (not a university excused absence) in order to let them know whats going on.  Remember, those that did not attend two Reed Arena clean ups will be paying a $20 dollar sectionals fee before going on the trip.  We will be reserving hotel rooms and paying tournament entries. 

Finally, there are still several people who have not picked up tennis club apparel ordered a long time ago.  If you have ordered anything, please come and pick it up at practice Wednesday.
 
Thanks and gig 'em!
