Draws & First Match Times
Draws are now posted with match times. Please remember that match times and locations may change due to inclement weather or other administrative reasons. IT IS THE PLAYER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE DRAWS FOR ANY CHANGES TO MATCH TIMES. We will notify individual players if a change occurs within 24 hours of your match time, unless such changes are caused by inclement weather.
We are expecting rain Friday evening and Sunday afternoon. There is a VERY REAL possiblity of a delay on Saturday morning depending on when the rain ends on Friday night. We will post our first INCLEMENT WEATHER UPDATE at 6am on Saturday morning. We will post an update if there is a delay and we will also let you know if there are no delays.
Players are responsible for reporting to their match site a MINIMUM of 30 minutes prior to your match time. We will penalize lateness and traffic or being lost is not an excuse for tardiness.

Selection Process
The Player Selection Process is completed. This tournament will have DEPENDENT DRAWS for any players who do not meet the qualifications established below. Any player who is NOT a resident of North Carolina must be shown on a standlings list in their home USTA Section/District.
Players who are listed on the NC Standings List for the age division they enter will be selected first for the Main Level 4 draw. Any remaining spots will be filled with players who reside outside of the State of North Carolina and are listed on their home district standings list.
Any players who do not meet the qualifications to be selected to the Level 4 Main Draw will be selected to the DEPENDENT DRAW for that age division. The DEPENDENT DRAWS will count as a NC Level 5 event.
Players will be selected based on the most recent published NC standing list. Players
must have some standing points in order to be considered to compete in a
NC L4 tournament. If players do not have a standing, they should
compete in a NC L5 event. Where we are able we will allow for dependent draws to help with any overflow. The names of players who have been selected will appear as “Competitors.”
