NEW Eligibility Rules for 2008
New eligibility rules were just passed by our Junior Competition Council for the Challenger Circuit. Any player not ranked in the TOP 25 of the age division they wish to play, may play in the Challenger Circuit. (Using most current standing list published at the end of the month previous to the event). Playing up in an age division is now allowed, as long as you are not in the top 25 of the current standings for that age division. Final Year End Rankings do not apply to this circuit any longer, only current standings.

Match Schedule
We will try very hard to finish up this tournament on Saturday, since Easter will fall on Sunday, the 23rd. The director will be flexible as far as when a match needs to be played after Saturday night. Please know that we will work with players and parents to get through this tournament as efficiently as possible due to the circumstances of the weekend.
