ABOUT THE 2018 CLAY COURTS
This will be the second year of our Clay Court Championships being
held at the Desert Mountain Club in Scottsdale, AZ, one of the
crown jewel tennis destinations in the Southwest, and one of the
finest tennis facilities in the country.
The Southwest Clay Courts is one of four surface Slam Series events
held for adults in the Southwest with a Level 1
classification.
TOURNAMENT FORMAT: Format for this event will be best two of
three sets, with a 10-point tiebreaker for the third. Singles
scoring is regular (with ads), doubles scoring will be no-ad.
First match loser's consolation matches will be attempted for all
singles divisions (if players don't play, we will make efforts to
pair you with other players from the division or other divisions).
Consolation matches will be played on hard courts and the
facility's one grass court.
PLAYERS ARE ALLOWED TO PLAY IN A MAXIMUM OF TWO EVENTS
TOURNAMENT SURFACE: Green Har-Tru Clay - 5 courts (no
lights)
AMENITIES: The Desert Mountain clay courts have partitioned
dividers on each court, with misters at every changeover location
as well as bottled water. Players are still encouraged to bring
their own drinks. Players will be able to use the facility locker
rooms on site.
BEHAVIORAL ISSUES: Behavioral issues and unsportsmanlike
conduct at this tournament (by fans or players) will NOT be
tolerated and will be dealt with harshly (potentially double
defaults for both players or teams....and suspensions from USTA
tournament play).
This facility is accommodating and spoiling our players in every
way, so we will not let terrible behavior on the tennis court be
accepted in ANY way.
