New Southern Closed 10's Team Event<
This Southern 10's Closed event is a new event starting in 2012 and will continue annually. The event will be 10 & Under, on clay. So that coaching can be included, we will put together a round robin team event. The top 36 boys and 36 girls who enter, will be selected and will be waterfalled into six teams consisting of six boys and six girls. These teams will play a round robin format, where they will play each of the other five teams. Each player will play a singles and doubles match against each team. As you can see, this will guarantee five singles and five doubles matches for each player, of course dependent on filling the six teams. Yes, you are correct! A lot of tennis in two days, but what an experience to have coaching available and this much competition in two days.
|
Scoring Format<
Singles will be best of two short sets to four, and a set tiebreak for the third, if needed. Also, a set tiebreak will be played at 4-4 in the first two sets. Doubles will be one 6 game set, with a tiebreaker at 6-6. Scoring format could change if necessary.
|
Coaching<
USTA Southern will select the necessary six cocaches. These team coaches will be the only people allowed to coach during competition.
|
Entry Fee<
Entry fee of $75.00 will cover the 10 matches, coaching, awards, and tournament gift.
