All Main Draw matches will be full 2/3 sets and all Consolation matches will play a Matchtiebreak (Supertiebreak) in lieu of the third set with advantage scoring on all matches. Some players in the Consolation may be playing up to three matches in a day. A player will be entitled to a three minute break after splitting sets and before playing the Matchtiebreak. The player is allowed to leave the court, talk to a coach or parent, make a phone call, etc. If a player is late coming back to the court, the penalty is loss of a game, which in this case results in Loss of Matchtiebreak or Loss of Match.

The USTA Legal Department has determined that they cannot provide contact information to tournament directors unless the customer provides the contact information during the registration process. Previously the home phone number and email address were pre-filled from the USTA Membership database when a player went through the online registration process. The pre-fill was removed due to privacy concerns. If you don't provide an email address and/or telephone number when you register for this tournament then we will be unable to notify you about any possible changes in the tournament.

Signing up for two events: The USTA Code of Conduct and Suspension Point System is in effect. You are expected to play the entire event as scheduled. The USTA/Midwest Section Junior Competition Committee has adopted a new Suspension Point System. All players will be given five (5) suspension points for entering two or more tournaments that take place at the same time, in whole or in part, unless each Tournament Committee involved agrees with the multiple entries in writing via e-mail. This applies to all players who signed up for the tournament including alternates.

The USTA/Midwest Section Closed Junior Championships, the district qualifiers, the USTA/Midwest Section Designated Tournaments and USTA/Midwest Section Junior Davis & Wightman Cup events are open to citizens of the U.S., permanent resident aliens in possession of a valid alien registration card, individuals who are applicants for adjustment to lawful permanent resident status and who can present a USCIS receipt for a pending unadjudicated form I-485, aliens who have resided continuously in the US for more than one year and who are members of families of persons in the diplomatic or consular corps and aliens who have been granted Refugee Status, Asylee Status or Temporary Protected Status.

Players may register for multiple USTA/Midwest Section 1-5 Tournaments and Age Divisions held during the same dates. However, in order to avoid receiving five USTA/Midwest Section points, a player must adhere to the following requirements.

Main Draw will play two out of three full sets and Consolation will play a Matchtiebreak (Supertiebreak) in lieu of the third set. Two matches a day for the Main Draw and up to three matches per day for the Consolation. The FIC Consolation does not finish and it will stop at the Semi-finals due to the tournament lasting only three days.
Matches played with a tiebreak in lieu of a 3rd set will be given: a 3 minute rest and coaching break after the second set before the tiebreaker is played. Players may leave the court and communicate.
