Updated to Las Guardianas. We're at 14 now, so 2 more and we can start.

I've noticed that Sibirsky, the defending champion, has yet to sign up. I think it'd be good to have the defending champion in the tournament, so if he signs up before the first match day, then the 16th signup will become the first reserve.

[Mount Kip]

Kipswich Tennis Training Center

WHACK. TH-BUMP. WHACK. TH-BUMP. WHACK. TH-BUMP. The sound of the tennis ball making contact with the racket head, traveling at an incredible speed, hitting the other side of the court. Over and over. WHIRRR. WHACK. TH-BUMP. WHIRRRRRR. The ball machine had run out of "ammo". Harley Rawlings was done for the day. Harley, one of the best tennis players in Mount Kip would be participating in the 2nd Annual Scott Cup. He waved hi to Gina Fey, who was taking her turn on the court. They would both be representing Mount Kip's team.
