The heat and humidity seemed to be turned up a notch on Saturday during the Tournament of Champions opening games of play. The clouds above played games with tournament officials, keeping them guessing as to whether to expect a rain-out or not.... in the end, all was well and all games got off without a hitch in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Once the games were over, the heavens opened up to torrential rains but seemed to subside an hour later.
