Draw and Format Information
Players DRAWS: Draws will be posted Tuesday evening 1/31 at about 5pm. An email will accompany the posting of the draws. If you do not get an email, your email is not current with USTA! The emails will have details about the event and will be important to read. Most players will play EITHER on Thursday night OR Friday night, but NOT both weekday nights. All draws will continue Saturday, starting at 8:30am Matches will begin at 5:30pm on both nights, so that we can get in two matches, per night, for the larger draws. FORMAT: 2 out of 3 sets NO AD SCORING. Super tiebreaker in lieu of the 3rd set. First Match Loser Back Draw match: Players losing their first match will play ONE back draw match, same format as main draw* (* some players may be asked to play a SECOND MATCH so that all players losing their first match get a second match) We will NOT play out the full back draw, due to time/court constraints. There will be no times listed on the back draw on the website. The times for play will be given to you at the tournament desk after the player's first match loss Thanks!
