2010 Purnell-Thomas Memorial Tournament

Tournament Information
This is a $30,000 men's prize money tournament that benefits Coastal Hospice in Salisbury, Md. This is not a USTA or ATP sanctioned event and will not count toward state, sectional, national or ATP rankings. To submit an entry for consideration, please visit our tournament website and fill out the online entry form. The tournament committee will review applications and select competitors based on their own criteria which will include ATP points, national and sectional USTA rankings as well as collegiate rankings. Please supply us with any information that will aid us in our decision making process.
Money is paid starting in the round of 32 for singles and the round of 16 for doubles. Byes do not count as wins. A player receiving a bye must win a round before any prize money will be paid. Players are asked to check in on Tuesday, August 17th in person in Salisbury, Md. There is a player party that evening and the draws will be unveiled at that time. Free housing is available upon request and will be with a local host family. Please expect to play your first round match between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM on Wednesday, August 18th.

Facilities
We will be using the 12 newly-resurfaced outdoor hard courts at Salisbury University for all matches. There are three resurfaced indoor courts available on campus for practice in case of inclement weather. These will not be used for matches unless the committee feels we are too far behind and must make use of them. The indoor courts play very much like the outdoor courts and are painted exactly the same (thick baselines and such), but have direct flourescent lighting. |
Entries
As we receive entries via the tournament website, we are putting them into the tournament software. To verify that we have received your entry, click on competitors. This is only a list of received entries, not committee selections. Should we exceed 64 applicants in singles or 32 in doubles, we will then meet as a committee to go over applicants and select the field.
|
Hospitality
Free housing is available to all players and will be with a local host family who will provide transportation to and from the courts if needed. There are tournament parties on both Tuesday, August 17th and Saturday, August 21st. Players are encouraged to come to both events if possible. On other nights, dinner is served at the courts and is donated by local restaurants that are sponsors of our event. There is a shuttle service available to players from BWI International Airport in Baltimore, Md. This service is provided by Bayrunner Shuttle, another of our sponsors. BWI also houses an Amtrak station.
