MORE IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We always have a large number of changes the last few days before the start of the tournament. Therefore, it is difficult to get the draws out much before the Sunday check-in, and we will try to get them published by Saturday. We are trying to accommodate the many many scheduling requests from the players and that takes extra time.
For now, we would ask that you refer to the "Competitors" list to make sure you are entered in the correct events and with the correct doubles partners. If you are not in the correct event with the correct partner(S), please contact us at (435) 669-1090 or (801) 376-4966 so we can make the changes.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. We will have a great tournament once we get everyone in place.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE DRAWS
Matches will not be rescheduled to accommodate players' schedules in other sporting events. Some events may be combined if there are insufficient entries to support an event. Everyone who plays 75+ events will have only an Open division; there will be no Challenger divisions for 75+ players. If you have won a medal in the Challenger division, you could be moved into the Open division in order to make it fair for the players in the Challenger division. It has been our experience that some players will quit the tournament before it finishes. Each player owes it to the other players and the tournament to finish all scheduled matches. The draws will be posted on www.usta.com by using the tournament id number: 250011117. There will also be a link on the tennis page at www.seniorgames.net.

The scoring for all events will be best-of-three sets with a 7-point Tie-Breaker at 6-6 in the first two sets, and in the case of split-sets, a 10-point Match Tie-Breaker will be played in lieu of the third set.
