IMPORTANT - READ FULLY
You are responsible for all the information on this page. You should review all of it thoroughly. The draws are tentative and may change due to weather, withdrawals, defaults, administrative error, etc. You will not be contacted due to changes. You should review the draws often particularly before leaving for a match to be sure nothing has changed. This is a large event and it will be a long weekend of tennis. It is important that matches stay on schedule. Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to get to your site and try to find your site in advance if at all possible. The tournament phone number is my mobile phone. I cannot accept calls during the tournament to provide directions etc. Other tournament related calls are acceptable. You may also use text or email. The site will be updated regularly throughout the event. If you have access to a mobile device you can use that to check draws and see results. All times have been posted. Any draw exceeding 8 participants will not complete the consolation which is why no times are posted for the consolation finals. This is a state rule set by NCTA. If you have questions please use email if possible.

General Information
This is a North Carolina Level 3 tournament and a Level 4 Southern tournament. This tournament may start as early as 8:00 AM on Saturday. We are expecting a large turnout so we can not accomodate any conflicts. All matches will play 2 out of 3 sets with a match tiebreak in lieu of a third set (except 10's). The officials will be available to answer questions and settle disputes but they may not serve as line judges for individual courts. Please promote good sportsmanship. Further information will be provided as the deadline approaches. I encourage you to register early. If you have any questions feel free to email me at s.courtneyharrell@gmail.com

Changing Events (Must be before deadline)
I've had some emails about moving players to different events. I am not allowed to move a player for any reason. If you would like to move to a different event you will need to withdraw and then re-register for another event. This has to be done before midnight. Whatever event the player is registered for when the deadline passes is the only event they can be considered for. Any event with 3 participants will be held. Any event with less than 3 participants will be cancelled.

VERY IMPORTANT - VENUE CHANGE
Due to circumstances beyond our control we have to relocate the tournament to Snow Hill, NC. We will be using Greene Ridge Racquet Club with 9 clay courts and Greene Central High School with 12 hard courts. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. I will be reaching out to those who have already registered to make sure they are aware of the change. We will do our best to maintain play on the same surface but some events may be played on multiple surfaces. If you have questions please contact me via email. - Courtney Harrell, Tournament Director

Awards
Since there will be multiple draws, only first and second place trophies will be given.
|
Limited Draws
All draws are limited to 32 participants. Please take this into account when deciding what event to enter. The top 32 players will be chosen for each event so if you are playing in a higher age group for which you do not have ranking points you will not be chosen for that event if the entries exceed 32. Also see the section related to the Waterfall System.
|
Late Entries
LATE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED. NO EXCEPTIONS.
|
Seeding & Selections
Selections will be made using the most up to date NC Standings. Seeds will be determined using NCTA Seeding Criteria after the waterfall is done. This means out of state players may not be selected or seeded.
|
Withdrawals and Refunds
There are no refunds for players who withdraw after the selection process.
|
Alternates
Any alternates MUST have registered online. No "on-site" alternates are allowed unless they originally signed up online prior to entry deadline.
|
Waterfall System
In 2013, all North Carolina Level 3 Tournaments adopted 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 lists in the following order: Red: 1,4,5,8,9,12,13,16,17,20,21,24,25,28,29,32. White: 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 NCTA Seeding Criteria after the waterfall is done. The format is FIC (Feed-In Consolation through QF). All matches will play a 10-point match tiebreaker instead of a full 3rd set. There will be a playoff for 3rd and 4th place. Consolation finals will NOT be played out. Both players who reach the finals of consolation will receive the same number of ranking points. 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 at 4-all), AD scoring, with a 7 point tiebreak instead of a third set. Events with less than 24 players will play a regular 32 draw with byes and will play a Feed-In (through Quarterfinals) and there will be a playoff for 3rd and 4th place. Consolation finals will NOT be played out. Both players who reach the finals of consolation will receive the same number of ranking points.
