CP: Central Park, 1340 S 4th St. (Corner of 4th Street and Park Ave.)

Scheduling Note:
We made an attempt to get as much done the first weekend as possible. Unfortunately with the size of some draws, play will have to take place the second weekend. If there is a spot on the draw without a time, that means it will not be played until the second weekend. Those times will be released Wednesady, May 29th.
The schedule of play does take on a different appearance this year. This is caused by the split weekends, and changes in USTA Regulations in the 2013 Friend At Court regarding rest periods.
Good luck this weekend and have a safe trip for those traveling to Louisville.

Volunteer opportunities include: site director, site assistant, runner, pre-tournament preparations, etc.

Indoor Court Costs
In the event of inclement weather, all players will pay $7 per match when moved indoors. Moving matches indoors is based on availability of courts at the indoor facilities in Louisville. Since this is an outdoor tournament, all efforts to play outdoors will be made.
|
10 and Under Format
The 10 and Under players will be using Orange Ball Format (60 foot court, 25 inch racquet). If you show up with a larger racquet you will not be able to play. Play will be two short sets using no ad scoring and a 7 point tie-break at one set all. Doubles will be a 6 game set with a 7 point tie-break at 6 games all.
|
Tournament Desk
Players are to check in at the designated tournament desk. Due to the number of coaches, players, spectators and media at each site, only tournament staff, officials, and PLAYERS are permitted at the tournament desk. Parents, coaches, and spectators are asked to utilize the TennisLink website and the draws posted at each site for information. Tournament staff will be directed to only communicate future match times with players, and direct everyone else to the public draw.
|
Officials
There will be officials at each site. Only PLAYERS can request an official to their court. It is the players match. If a player needs an official, they should stop play and raise a racquet, or they are also permitted to leave the court to ask for one.
|
Inclement Weather
Incase of bad weather, the possibilty of moving indoors is unlikely due to the high number of matches. However, if the decision is made to move indoors, there will be an additional fee to pay for the indoor court cost.
Any updates will be posted on WWW.USTAKY.COM on Twitter @ustaky or on Facebook USTAKY.
