RECOVERY RULE & BG12 MATCH MAXIMUM
Due to the new Recovery Rule (see below) that went into effect this past spring we have had to adjust match scoring formats at outdoor USTA events. In addition there are also stricter maximum match allowances for BG12's that are less than BG14-18's that play a role as well.


Recovery Rule: Extended length of rest between singles matches in Junior, Adult, Senior, NTRP and Wheelchair Divisions. In all singles matches in Junior, Adult, Senior, NTRP, and Wheelchair Divisions in which the match format is two out of three standard tiebreak sets or more, a rest period of two hours shall be offered by the Referee before the player's next singles match. This Rule does not apply to short set matches and matches that play a tiebreak in lieu of a final third set, nor to any match played indoors where the duration of the match is less than 120 minutes.





PLAYER SELECTION AND NUMBERED ALTERNATE LIST WILL BE POSTED BY MONDAY, September 22.
