Mixed Doubles Round Robin - Postponed

The Mixed Doubles Round Robin that was scheduled for June 28th, has been postponed. We are working with Gregg Park to schedule a new date. We hope to be able to do this in August so that mixed doubles teams will have the opportunity to use this as a warm-up for our yearly Palmetto Doubles tournament that will take place in September.
