Match Times
All match times after the first round are tentative. All players should be prepared to play one hour after their previous matches are completed. Afternoon doubles matches will be started as soon as the four players involved have had their break from singles, and so they may very well be played earlier than the scheduled times.

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.

Match Format for the Weekend
All divisions (except 10's) in singles and doubles will play best two out of three sets with a match tiebreak (to 10) in lieu of a third set this weekend. Players will receive a three minute set break at the end of the second set, but they do not get a 10 minute break. All players should be prepared to play again within one hour after completion of each match.
