REQUESTS
Please remember that requests are just that - requests. It may be impossible to accommodate everyone, though we go to great lengths in an effort to make it possible for everyone to play. The Official USTA position is that if you are going to play in a tournament - COMMIT TO IT. Doing the draws for a good sized tournament is like putting together a giant jig saw puzzle, one piece out of line affects many others. One match request will affect up to a dozen others, and getting them competed in our limited number of days becomes very difficult. We try, but please don't expect every request to be able to be granted .

FLUIDS AND EQUIPMENT
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, I.e. Band Aids, braces, wraps, sweat bands, hats, shoe strings, dry socks, etc.
