Draws Posted - IMPORTANT - READ FULLY
The draws have been posted. As always match times are tentative and may change due to weather, withdrawals, defaults, administrative error, etc. You will not be contacted due to changes. You should review the draws often particularly before leaving for a match to be sure nothing has changed. This is a large event and it will be a long weekend of tennis. It is important that matches stay on schedule. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to your site and try to find your site in advance if at all possible. The tournament phone number is my mobile phone. I cannot accept calls during the tournament to provide directions etc. Other tournament related calls are acceptable. You may also use text or email. The site will be updated regularly throughout the event. If you have access to a mobile device you can use that to check draws and see results. All times have been posted. Any draw exceeding 8 participants will not complete the consolation which is why no times are posted for the consolation finals. This is a state rule set by NCTA. If you have questions please use email if possible.

3-Minute Rest Period
When a 3-minute rest period is taken in a match played with a Match Tie-Break in Lieu of the Third Set format, the following procedures should be followed: The 3-Minute Rest Period begins at the end of the second set and the official should start timing it. Players must remain on court or in an area adjacent to the court designated by an official. Coaching is permitted during the 3-Minute Rest Period and must take place on court or in an area adjacent to the court designated by an official. A toilet/change of attire break may be taken at the conclusion of the 3-Minute Rest Period. A player choosing to take a toilet/change of attire break during the 3-Minute Rest Period waives the right to further coaching. No coaching is permitted for a player who is taking a toilet/change of attire break. Following these procedures will preclude the necessity for any penalty for returning late after a 3-minute rest break.
