ITA Summer Circuit at University of Mary Washington

If you did not register for doubles online, you will have the opportunity to register for doubles on Saturday by 3:00 PM at the tournament desk. If you do not have a partner, you can sign up as an individual and we will pair you up. MOST players find a partner on site, so don't worry. Again, you may look people up on UTR to find players at a similar level as you.

All of our courts will be open Friday all day if you arrive today, until 9 PM. On Saturday, all courts will be open at 7 AM for warmup. No need to reserve courts. There will likely be open courts throughout the morning because of defaults are not uncommon. So players not playing at 8 AM will have open courts they can jump onto. Also, KENMORE PARK is with 1/2 mile of our courts and have 8 courts. We do NOT have them reserved and there could be events. There is also James Monroe HS....nice courts...about 1 mile from campus. Again, not reserved and could have event, but worth checking.

Hey everyone. Not sure what the ITA sent you, but SPORTSMANSHIP has always been one of the main themes of the ITA Summer Circuit. This is supposed to be a fun and laid back event where college players get to compete in the summer and meet new people. Now, many juniors and players about to go into college in the fall, are playing. The old rule used to be that you DO NOT QUESTION and opponent's call unless you are 100% sure they got it wrong. Then, if a player were questioned, they were to give the point to their opponent. The idea was sportsmanship and not having problems on the court. That rule isn't around anymore, but we wanted to remind you to keep this event fun. We expect fair play and no issues with rackets, ball slamming, etc.... Let's make it a fun weekend and meet some new people from other colleges and sections. College players can help answer questions the juniors might have in regards to their college search and what to expect playing college tennis. Good luck.

We expect the draws to be posted by Thursday at noon, although we will shoot for Wednesday. ITA Summer Circuits are using UTR (UNIVERSAL TENNIS RATING) to do seeding this year....we encourage you to check out the website.

We will TRY to add STATE and CURRENT COLLEGE for those in college on Saturday AM. You can certainly look players up on TR

CHECK DRAWS DAILY!!!! THIS EVENT TENDS TO GET PEOPLE PULLING OUT, SO YOUR TIMES, LOCATION, AND OPPONENT CAN CHANGE.

The singles draw should be posted sometime Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. Doubles sign up will be all day Saturday to give everyone a chance to find partners and the draw will be available around 4 pm with play starting as soon as possible in the late afternoon.

RAIN plan would be posted here early each morning and throughout each day. PLEASE DO NOT CALL DESK, as we can't handle all of those calls and deal with tournament and people on site. It will be updated here with all information you need.
