All early round matches have been scheduled.
In an effort to avoid matches for the 18s on Tuesday( graduation day for many), the only way to complete the consolation is to have 2 rounds on Thursday - creating the possiblity of 3 matches for a few players. FOR THAT REASON, those 2 consolation rounds will be 2 out of 3 sets, with a tie-break in lieu of the 3rd set.
All other matches will be 2 out of 3 sets, except in the case of rain.
PLEASE check your times and plan to arrive early.
