Sunday match times and scoring
Sunday match times have been posted. We plan on starting play at 9:00am in the morning. If weather or court conditions are questionable we will post a message by 7:30am. Scoring -- We will play no-ad short sets in all events except the B18's. Games will be no-ad scoring. Sets will be first to 4 by 2 with a seven point set tiebreak at 4-4. A 10 point match tie break will be played for the third set (7 point for 10U events). The matches that were on the court when the rain started today will play the scoring format used in Saturday matches. Since the B18's is a round robin and one match was played with full set scoring the remaining two rounds will be full set scoring with a 10 point match tie break for the third set.
Some matches do not have times. We will determine if we will be able to play these matches and a match time tomorrow. We will attempt to complete all draws.

Counting Points Up effective Jan. 1, 2017 To align with USTA National and Southern, USTA Georgia Junior Competition Committee has approved an amendment that will affect how Georgia standings will be calculated. Beginning January 1, 2017, the singles and doubles results for each player earned in a division for the previous 12-month period shall be counted as results in the next-older division at 20%. As such, players will no longer be considered for selection based on their lower age division standings. A description of this new amendment may be found on the USTA Southern website at: http://www.southern.usta.com/Juniors/tournaments_rankings/2017_important_junior_updates/?intloc=headernavsub2
