MATCH TIMES - GENERAL GUIDELINES
During the week, match times will begin at 10 am, depending on draw sizes. The expectation is to finish all junior events by Thursday afternoon, or Friday morning at the latest. Please be prepared to play up to 2 matches a day. Rain is always a mitigating factor, so occasionally we have to double up to complete the tournament. If you have special time needs, make sure you email Walt Thieman with your request. We prefer email when possible since it leaves an electronic trail, eliminating many problems of who said what.

MATCH FORMAT
All matches will be best of three tiebreak sets in the front draw, and best of three sets with a match tie break (first player to 10 points) used in place of a full third set in backdraw matches. Be prepared to play up to 2 matches a day so we can complete the event within our allowed time frame.

FLUIDS & TOWELS
PLEASE - Make sure you bring lots of fluids with you, You are responsible for yourself, no one else. Summer can be brutally hot on court. Rule of thumb is a minimum of a GALLON OF FLUIDS PER MATCH, on court with you, water or sport drink. Buy 2 water jugs of a gallon each, they are cheep, so you always have a back up if you have a very long match. Bring towels and extra tee shirts or outfits, you are responsible for your performance, and your gear.
