2016 Excellence Notes
The goal of this compass draw tournament is to give players the opportunity to play 3 to 4 matches in a non-elimination format. Because of the varied number of entries in each age division and withdrawals after the entry deadline, we have put the following guidelines in place. Draws for this tournament will not be published until the prior Thursday at 6:00pm. After Thursday at 6:00pm, it is up to the tournament director's discretion to make draw modifications to complete the draws (as per Friend at Court alternate list). If a withdrawn player is seeded, then players may be moved and seeding may be corrected (as per Friend at Court regulations).
Every age division will start with a D draw to manage withdrawals after the entry deadline. Players may be moved from the D draw to the C draw depending on the number of entries on the prior Thursday at noon.
Every effort will be made to have full A, B and C draws to ensure 4 matches for every player. Changes may be made after draws are published! No draw adjustments will be made after play begins. All Super Champ players are eligible for this tournament. This tournament is for Texas Section residents only. In each age group there will be an A draw, B draw, multiple C draws (as needed) and a D draw. The A draw will be the top 16 players, and the B draw will be the next 16 players. If there is a minimum of 80 singles entries or 80 doubles teams, then there will be two B draws. The C draw will consist of all other players, equally split into draws of 16 (maximum). The D draw will consist of overflow players from the C draws and will have a minimum of 4 players. A and B draws will be compass draws. C draws may be compass or round robin draws depending on the number of players. The D (or last) draw will be a round robin or a compass draw depending on the number of players (see note below for exact breakdown of draw based on number of players).

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.
