DRAWS & MATCH TIMES
Click on Draws and select the appropriate age division from the drop down box. Prior to and throughout the course of the tournament, it is the player's responsibility to verify that their match times/locations are accurate. Schedule changes may be unavoidable due to weather and/or withdrawals.
(Due to an administrative error, the draws with match times will be posted by 2pm this afternoon. Based on NC Tennis regulations, the tournament should use the September 30, 2017 standings. Originally, the October 17, 2017 standings were used. We are currently correcting this issue. This may cause some changes to seeding and placement in the Red or White Draw based on the waterfall method to separate players.)
