By Peter BodoPublished May 17, 2007

SITE PROGRAMMING NOTICE

This week, due to anticipated heavy traffic, we will be offering daily entries. They will be as follows and in order:

Monday Net Post
Hamburg Crisis Center 5/15
Wednesday Racket
Hamburg Crisis Center 5/17
The OTher Thread
Hamburg Crisis Center 5/19
Hamburg Crisis Center 5/20

It is requested that these entries are only to be used for discussions concerning tennis and related match calls.

To help accomplish this, we have created an entry specifically for "anything-else" OT chat (dogs/cricket/soccer/Tiger Beat discussions/other entertainment, etc.), called The Locker Room.

Thanks for your understanding, as TW deals with the spring clay traffic as best as we can.
