Every parent/player is responsible
to review all of these instructions.
Every player and their parent/legal
guardian must fill out and sign a waiver prior to being allowed on the courts
at Yarbrough Tennis Center. You may email a scanned signed copy of the waiver form, or
fill out the waiver form at the Registration desk on Saturday from 8:00am to
9:00am. T-shirts are also handed out at
the Registration desk. If this is your
first time coming to Yarbrough Tennis Center the address to use for a GPS is
1717 Richland Road, Auburn AL. The phone
number at the tennis center is 334-501-2920.
All times referred to in these instructions, and for match times will be
central time (not eastern time zone).
A brief parents
& players meeting will be held at
8:45am on 16 June prior to the first matches going on court, and several
points from these instructions will be repeated. All players are not required
to attend this players meeting, but any remaining questions from the players/parents
should be resolved by this time. As a
reminder, we encourage all parents, coaches, and spectators to set the right
example and cheer the good play of all the competitors in the tournament; coaching
or communication with a player is ONLY allowed briefly during the short
interval between the end of the second set and the start of the ten point
tie-breaker.
Players may warm-up
on the clay courts from 8:00am to 8:30am on Saturday, 16 June. Free practice is also allowed on Friday
evening (15 June) until 9:00pm on the clay courts for tournament players. All other warm-up/practice on clay courts after
8:30am Saturday will solely be the 5 minute warm-up prior to the match. Practice after 8:30am Saturday is also
allowed on the outdoor hard courts at Yarbrough Tennis Center as those courts
are available. If there is significant
rain the matches will be moved to the six indoor courts and match times will be
rescheduled in TennisLink, and reposted on the board at the tennis center
(matches played indoors may also be shortened to eight game pro-sets). If there is rain the players must monitor
TennisLink and the match board in order to know if their scheduled match times
have changed.
A pizza lunch for
the players will be served on Saturday between 11:00am – 12:00pm.
There will be a
brief (three question) survey sent to each email address we have for the
players and we would like each of you to respond with feedback. This will help us improve the events that we
provide for you in the future. We
appreciate your feedback. If you have any questions on these instructions
please contact Bret Peterson at bpeterson@auburnalabama.org or at 334-501-2921.
