Waco/Big Event Sign Ups

Howdy Ags!!

Tennis club practice tomorrow, so make sure to come out and get warmed up for domination on Saturday in Waco.  Shirts are still 2 for $5 dollars, so come by and grab some cheap threads.  Also, tennis club is participating in Big Event on March 26th.  For those that aren't aware of what Big Event is, it is a student run community service project in the Bryan/College Station area that over 10,000 students participate in annually.  The sign up process is different this year because it is all done online.  Follow this link to go directly to the Texas A&M Tennis Club sign up page: http://bigeventonline.tamu.edu/signup/index/joingroup/code/878C7-00093.  From here, log in and input your information into the prompt boxes.  You can also join the Tennis Club big event group by going to http://bigeventonline.tamu.edu/ and logging in under student participant.  Then type in this access code into the "Join a Group" box: 878C7-00093.  The group "Texas A&M Tennis Club" should appear, and then join the group.  
 
If your team captain for the Waco tournament has not already contacted you about team plans for the week/weekend, then they will be doing so soon.  In order to arrive on time in Waco, teams should be leaving at about 5:30 Saturday morning, which should give everyone plenty of time to sleep in.  The teams for the tournament can be seen here: https://spreadsheets0.google.com/ccc?hl=en&key=tWSqDwHDXbE_gCFNEJ2uHcA&hl=en#gid=0
 
For sectionals, the deadline to verbally challenge is Friday, February 11th and the deadline to report a challenge score is Wednesday, February 16th. 
 
Now here's the same information that you've seen in every email for the entire semester.....enjoy.  If you read past this point, you are the tennis club member of the week.

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!
