Solar Eclipse - Suspension of Play from 1-1:30pm
Well, this is something new! We are aware of the uncertainty of playing conditions during tomorrow's solar eclipse. After much research and discussion, we have determined that play needs to be postponed between 1pm-1:30pm in this area during the max period of the eclipse. Therefore, please be aware that we will proceed with matches as scheduled and have a mandated suspension of play for 30 mins. If conditions change or become unsafe we will make the appropriate adjustments. Please be aware that it is unsafe to look at the eclipse without the proper eye wear. Please make sure to relay this information to your players and our site directors and officials will do the same.

Doubles
Players may register with or without a partner. Those who register with a partner must indicate their partner through the online registration system before the entry deadline. Players will need to correctly identify their doubles partner during their initial registration process or they may go back later, prior to the entry deadline, and “Edit Registration” to indicate their partner of choice. Correct doubles registration is the player’s responsibility. Immediately after registration, players need to check the Applicant List to ensure they are registered with their partner of choice (and their partner is also registered with them). If both players do not register with each other online, then they will become an individually registered doubles player and be paired with another individually registered doubles player based on the order of the current Standings list. All players registered individually without a partner will be paired with another individually registered doubles player based on the order of the current Standings List, if a partner is available.
If you choose to register for doubles individually then the tournament director will share your email address with your assigned doubles partner. This allows for open communication between partners for warm-up, withdrawals, etc.

IMPT: Withdrawal Rule Remains in Effect in 2017 - Please Read
In 2017, the Monday Withdrawal Rule for Super Champ Designated Tournaments will remain in effect. For this tournament, players are required to inform the tournament desk or tournament director the day before of their intent not to complete their matches on the last day of the tournament. This must occur no later than 6pm Sunday for tournaments that end on Monday, or 6pm Monday for tournaments that end on Tuesday, or within 15 minutes of completing their final match of the day (whichever is later). For this tournament, players must inform the director by Sunday at 6pm for Monday (8/21) matches. The tournament director will inform the opponent immediately of any withdrawals. Players who pull out after Sunday (or Monday) at 6pm will have their match coded as a withdrawal and will receive no points for their wins in that tournament. If a player gets injured or ill after that 6pm deadline and they think it's important to "keep their points" they (the player) will need to physically show up on Monday morning and pull out in person in order to have that match coded a walkover and retain their points.
