10 and Under - REMINDERS
Weather permitting, we are planning to finish all 10 and under Singles Divisions on Saturday. As the schedule allows, we will attempt to play doubles to follow the singles matches on Saturday. We have intentionally left times off girls Doubles and will finesse the Doubles start times as the Singles matches progress.
Please be aware that 10 and Under rules mandate a racket to be 25'' in length or shorter. We will not allow play with a 26'' or 27'' racket.

Play Format
Boys and Girls 12s - 18s will play the best two out of three sets with a 10 point match tie-breaker played for the third set. Doubles will be an eight game pro set. Boys and Girls 10s will play two out of three short sets to four using NO-AD scoring, and a seven point tiebreaker for the third. If possible, 10s division will be played to completion on Saturday.
