Singles Tournament Format --- New for 2018
Starting in October 2017 Southern has adopted a modified Curtis Consolation draw format for singles events. Losers of the first 2 rounds feed into the main consolation draw. Losers of the Round of 16 and Quarterfinals feed into a separate Round of 16-Quarterfinal Losers consolation draw. Both consolation draws end with the semi-finals.
|
Scoring Formats
• Main Draw singles will play the best of 3 sets. • Consolation singles will play two sets with a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of the third set. • Doubles will play an 6-game pro-set with a 7-point match tiebreak played at 6-all.

Rest periods between singles matches
The following policy will be implemented: When players are scheduled to play 2 singles matches in one day, and the first match is 'Best of 3 sets' format, they will be offered a rest period of at least 2 hours. If both matches are tiebreak in lieu of a 3rd set, they will be offered a rest period equal to the length of their first match, with a maximum of 2 hours, This rest period guideline does not apply to doubles.
Note: Players must contact the referee immediately after their match if the
next scheduled match time must be delayed to allow sufficient rest. ***** Players will be expected to report on time
for their next match if they do not request an extension from the referee at
