DAY 2, continued

The lawns are being mowed in the morning, and there is a possibility that hoop setting will push back the start of play on one or more lawns. If this happens on your lawn, you are still entitled to your 10-minute warm-up, if you start as soon as the lawn is ready.

On court 7 we will resume the pegged-down doubles semi-final. The Cumming vs. Morgan semi-final will follow; Cumming not required until 10:00.
On court 6 we will start the Soo vs. Lawrence semi-final no later than 10:00.

If possible we will play at least one game of the doubles final later in the day.

SINGLES PLATE: FORMAT DETAILS

Play will continue today through up to two rounds on Saturday, as long as there is sufficient interest. Priority for pairings will be: players who haven't met in the Plate yet; similar record. However, rematches may become necessary in later rounds. Scoring is by net wins, i.e., wins minus losses (Plate games only; block/playoff record does not carry forward into the Plate). If there is a tie for first the honor will be shared.

FINAL DAY

At 9:00 we will resume the doubles final, and the singles plate. Plate standings have a three-way tie for first place, on +2 net wins (including Wayne Davies, who left for home today). Two players are at +1. Still plenty to play for. We are running out of new pairings, however. I am going to wait until I see who is available to play at 9:00 before I make pairings.
