2017 USTA League Nationals in Ft. Lauderdale are still on!

The USTA elected to move a bunch of Nationals to Florida this year, some taking advantage of the new National Campus in Orlando, but a few being scheduled for Ft. Lauderdale.

A natural concern is that the weather is not as reliably warm and dry in Florida as it is in the Arizona and California deserts, and with Hurricane Irma devastating parts of Florida, there was some concern about Nationals since they start in less than a month.

The good news is Ft. Lauderdale at least, and I'm guessing Orlando as well since they didn't get as badly, are on.  This was sent to at least some Ft. Lauderdale bound captains from the USTA today:

We are excited to announce that League National Championships are still on schedule to be played in Ft. Lauderdale in October.
...
We have talked to the host facility and hotels and there was minimal damage done to their properties.  We are looking forward to a great championship season and to see all of you in Ft. Lauderdale later this fall.

So there you have it.  It is on in Ft. Lauderdale!
