If it Rains….
Because of the unique topography of the greater Rome area, there are many times when the weather at one site is horrible and play continues at others.
Many times we move matches from one site to another to allow matches to be completed and in so doing, keep the tournament on schedule (as much as possible). Some matches may even be moved a second time, if that’s what it takes to get them completed.
When it rains, you are not excused to leave the facility without the permission of the referee at the site where you are playing.
NOTE: We ask for your cell phone number and hotel room at check-in. We need this information to contact you.
Don’t abandon the phone in your car or bury it in your bag. Give us a number someone will answer!!

When it Rains…
We don’t have time to answer the phone. We are already getting calls from 6 other site referees, trying to coordinate what we will do.

Here is the order in which we give out information…
1. Announce delays and changes to all those actually at the site.
2. Twitter
3. Tournament website (the one you are on right now)
4. Answer 5,000,000 questions from those standing at the desk
5. If we have a spare moment, (which we won’t) ANSWER THE PHONE.

Rest periods between singles matche
The following heat policy will be implemented: When players are scheduled to play 2 singles matches in one day, they will be offered a rest period equal to the length of their first match (up to 3 hours). They will be offered a minimum of 2 hours rest regardless of first match length. This rest period guideline does not apply to doubles.

3-Minute Coaching Break
In matches playing a match tiebreak in lieu of a third set there will be a 3-minute coaching break between the end of the second set and the match-deciding tiebreak. This 3-minute break is treated the same as the 2-minute set break between first and second sets, except that players may receive coaching on the court. Players may not leave the court. unless requesting a toilet break. The toilet break will be taken after the 3-minute coaching break. No coaching is allowed during the toilet break for either player.

Advance Rehabilitation
Advance Rehabilitation will be providing a Certified Athletic Trainer for the tournament. The athletic trainer will be available 30 min prior to the start of play each until the end of the day for taping, injury treatment, injury evaluation, and assist with searching further medical treatment if needed. The athletic trainer will be stationed at Rome Floyd Tennis Center. For more information about Advance Rehabilitation click "more info."

Before you go any farther, READ THIS !

5-Minute Scheduling will be used.
For several years we used 5-Minute scheduling and it has been very successful. Scheduling every 5 minutes will mean that very few matches will be scheduled as part of a group, except for the large group of matches that will start each day.

Player Eligibility and Player Selection

Doubles Registration Procedure for 2013
To allow players to play singles and doubles as concurrently as possible, USTA GA State Championships will start doubles on the first day of the tournament. Doubles registration will be done on-line and via email only.

History of GA Open
The GA Junior Open has a rich heritage dating back to it's beginning in 1955. The event was started at Bitsy Grant Tennis Center in Atlanta, where it was held for more than 20 years. When the tournament outgrew the 13 clay courts at Bitsy Grant, the GA Open was moved to South Fulton Tennis Center in 1978, where it remained for 25 years. Because of continued growth, the GA Open evolved into a 2-week event with 10-14's playing one week and the 16-18's the next. In 2003 the tournament moved to Rome. Because of the 60+ courts available for tournament play, it returned to the one-week format.

From the start the GA Open was a stop on the Southern National Circuit. It has been a USTA National event for most of its existence. However, the USTA elected to limit each section to 4 Level 4 events and 8 Level 5 events. Since there are 4 Sectional Championships and 8 Bullfrog Designated events in the Southern Section, the GA Open lost its USTA national status about 5 years ago.

However, the Tennis Recruiting Network [TRN] has recognized the strength of field of the GA Open and it has designated it as a National event for TRN rankings for the past three years. We are delighted that TRN, the official research site for college coaches, has recognized the strength of the GA Junior Open.

Former champions include Charlie Pasarell, Zan Guerry, Andy Brandi, Crawford Henry, John Callen, Donna Floyd Fales and Grace Min among others. We hope you will become part of the legacy created by these and other notable players who have played in or won the GA Junior Open.
