Entries & Draw Types
All players should be expected to play two matches per day PER EVENT. This means if you enter two divisions, you could play up to four matches per day. Due to the forecast for rain, we will try to play matches on Friday evening.
All draws of six or more entries will play a Feed-In Consolation through the Quarterfinals. Any draws with only six entries will also play a Playoff match for the losers of the semifinals. Any draws with five entries will play a Feed-In Consolation through the semifinals. All draws with three for four entries will play a round robin.

Draws and Match Times
Draws are now posted with match times for Friday and Saturday. If there is NOT a time listed for a particular match, it will be played on Sunday. We will determine times on Saturday based on the results of play to that point.
Because there were so many players, we split the Men's 4.0 Singles into a Red Draw and a White Draw. The top four players in the division (by NCTA Standings) were split into the separate draws. The remaining players were randomly selected for the two draws.
