Waterfall System
In 2013 all NC L3 Tournaments will adopt the "waterfall system." Taking cost and school day factors into account, this allows tournaments to be completed in just two days and provides players with the opportunity to earn more ranking points. Each division that has 24 or more players will be split into two separate draws. Players will then be "waterfalled" into two balanced draws based on the selection list in the following order.
Red Draws1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16,17,20,21,24,25,28,29,32.
White Draws 2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31.
Selections will be made using the most up-to-date NC Standings.
Seeds will be determined using the NCTA Seedings Criteria after the waterfall is done.
The format is FIC (Feed-In Consolation through QF)
All matches will play a 10-Point match tie-break in lieu of a full 3rd set.
Boys/Girls 10s: The 10s division for this tournament will play on a 60' court using ORANGE compression balls. Racquets cannot be longer than 25". Matches are best-of-three 4 game sets (TB @ 4-all), regular (AD) scoring with a 7-point TB in lieu of a 3rd set.
Events with less than 24 players will play a regular 32 draw with FIC and there will be 3rd/4th playoff. Consolation finals will NOT be played out. Both players reaching the Consolation Finals will recieve the same number of ranking points.
Singles play will not begin before Saturday at 8 am.

Entering Two Tournaments
DO NOT ENTER TWO TOURNAMENTS AT THE SAME TIME. How to avoid penalties: If listed on the alternates list, you must withdraw from the alternate list first and then enter the 2nd event. Tournaments have different deadlines that will allow you time to make your changes. Suspension points will be issued if this procedure is not followed.

Varify Match Times
This tournament uses multiple sites. Players, it is YOUR responsibility to know WHERE and WHAT TIME you play. In most cases, you will stay at the same site after your first match of the day, but this is not always possible, so you must verify your site and time after each match. LATENESS PENALTIES will be assessed for late arrivals. You are encouraged to check in at your match site 30 minutes prior to match time.
