Player Responsibility

Please, report to Les Myers Park (LMP)) before 1st Round of Play. After 1st round, you may go directly to your site of play. ALL USTA rules will be enforced during the tournament. Contact the tournament desk ASAP if you are having directional issues (704 806 0909). Withdrawals and defaults may occur through out the weekend. Lastly, please FAMILIARIZE yourself with CONSOLATION rules of play. It can be confusing at times. Communication with tournament director is key, so that calmer heads prevail during the tournament.

Great Sports Pins
In an effort to promote good behavior and sportsmanship in junior
tennis, we are starting our “Great Sports” program at select junior
tournaments across the state. Officials will now be able to award good
behavior by presenting sportsmanship pins to juniors who exemplify
exceptional sportsmanship during a match or tournament.
Examples of pin awards that occurred this past year at trial events:
* A player assisting an opponent who was cramping
* A player who offered one of her rackets to her opponent after the opponent had broken all of her strings.
* A singles match played between two young players with exemplary
behavior with parents that clapped for all good shots and congratulated
each other’s child on their behavior after the match. Officials may use their discretion when selecting pin recipients.
They may also act on parent’s or player’s recommendations for other
children. Officials will be asked to document the name, age group, and
event when a pin is awarded, and a sentence about why they were chosen.
Recipients will be eligible for the annual sportsmanship awards given
at the NC Tennis weekend in Pinehurst, but a junior may still win an
annual award without winning a pin during the year.

Seeding & Selection Process
All NC residents' NC Standiings will take precedent. For players who reside outside of NC, Southern Standings wil be considered for seedings and selection. When Southern and NC Standings conflict the tournament committee will decide on a case by case basis which standings shall be used. Doubles seeding is applied by adding the two players ranking together and the lowest totals are the higher seeds. Online Entries ONLY Any alternate must have registered online. No "on-site" alternates are allowed unless they originally signed up online prior to entry deadline. No LATE entries will be taken
|
Limited Draws
All SINGLES draws are limited to 16players with a feed in draw (Through The Quarterfinals). There will also be a playoff for third & fourth in the semi-finals. Please take this into account when deciding what event to enter. The top players (From NC rankings)16 players will be chosen for each event so if you are playing in a higher age group for which you do not have ranking points you will mostly likely not be chosen for that event if the event reaches the maximum number of 16 players. I suggest entering your current age group and notify me by email if you would like to play a higher division. If space allows I may allow you to move up to the higher division once the deadline has closed and I have the final count.
