The tournament was meant to be the opening day for Neveln Courts, but construction was not completed yet. However, some games were played at Neveln on Sunday as Saturday’s play was delayed due to rain.

In the 8.0 bracket of the tournament, Levon Larson and Troy Dickman took first and Scott Jasmin and Bill Fleiner won the 6.0 bracket.
