Match Times After First Round Are Tentative
All match times after the first one for each player are tentative. Players should be prepared to play again one hour after each match on Saturday.

Dependent Draws in This Tournament
This is an L4 event. However new players currently ineligible for L4 tournaments MAY STILL REGISTER FOR THIS TOURNAMENT! We will offer L5 dependent draws for every age flight. We will need at least 3 registered players at an age flight to have an L5 dependent draw for that flight. We will also consider combining flights to make L5 dependent draws if it allows more players the opportunity to play. If we have more than 16 players in a singles draw, the players not selected for that draw will be given an opportunity to play in a dependent draw if we have at least three players for the dependent draw.

Doubles in Our Tournaments
All doubles matches in our tournaments will play best two out of three sets. We DO NOT play pro-8 sets in doubles. Also, most of the time doubles begin late Saturday afternoon after the players involved have finished singles, and the matches may run into Saturday evening. When necessary for the benefit of the tournament as a whole, there are also some times when doubles matches are played earlier on Saturday or on Sunday. Please keep this in mind when you sign up for doubles in our tournaments.
