Boys and Girls 10's at Lake Wilson
All 10's will be played at Lake Wilson Tennis Club. I mentioned that in an earlier paragraph but I forgot to post it on the draws. That has been corrected. All 10's matches should have an "LW" next to the match time now.

Checkin Procedures
The checkin procedure will be as follows. Those participating in early checkin and boys and girls 10's (see previous post) will report directly to the site of their first match. Everyone else will have to report to Barton College Tennis Complex before their first match. There will be 2 lines. One line will be for tournament checkin. Everyone will go to this line to turn in their medical release and parent agreement and to collect their gift. After completing the tournament checking you will report to the site of your match designated on the draw. The second line at Barton will be match checkin for Barton College. Only those playing at Barton will go to this line. Please arrive early to complete the process in plenty of time for your match. I'm sure the table will be crowded at the beginning of rounds and particularly Saturday morning before the first round of play.

Early Checkin Available
For those who are interested there will be an early checkin available Friday night at Lake Wilson Tennis Club. Early checkin will run from 6:30p until 8:30p. You can turn in your medical release and parent agreement and get your gift as well as ask any questions you may have in person. The more who checkin early the less congestion there will be Saturday morning. Those who checkin early may report directly to the site of their first match. Everyone who does not checkin early will have to report to Barton College Tennis Complex before heading to there first match (Only exception is Boys and Girls 10's who can report directly to Lake Wilson on Saturday). Early checkin is not required.

General Information
This is a North Carolina Level 3 tournament and a Level 4 Southern tournament. This tournament may start as early as 8:00 AM on Saturday. We are expecting a large turnout so we can not accomodate any conflicts. All matches will play 2 out of 3 sets with a match tiebreak in lieu of a third set. Feed-in Consolation will be used through the quarterfinals and a playoff for third and fourth may be used. The officials will be available to answer questions and settle disputes but they will not serve as line judges for individual courts. Please promote good sportsmanship. Further information will be provided as the deadline approaches. I encourage you to register early. If you have any questions feel free to email me at s.courtneyharrell@gmail.com
|
Draw Formats and Awards
All draws with more than 8 participants will be feed-in consolation through the quarterfinals with a 3rd/4th playoff. Smaller draws may be round robins in order to maximize play. Events with more than 8 participants will be awarded 1st through 5th place awards. All other events will be awarded 1st through 3rd place awards.
|
Seeding and Selection
For all NC residents NC Standiings will take precedent. For players who reside outside of NC Southern Standings wil be considered for seedings and selection. When Southern and NC Standings conflict the tournament committee will decide on a case by case basis which standings shall be used.
|
Limited Draws
All draws are limited to 32 participants. Please take this into account when deciding what event to enter. The top 32 players will be chosen for each event so if you are playing in a higher age group for which you do not have ranking points you will mostly likely not be chosen for that event if the entries exceed 32. I suggest entering your current age group and notifying me by email if you would like to play a higher division. If space allows I may allow you to move up to the higher division once the deadline has closed and I have the final count.
|
Playing Surface
Boys' and Girls' 10's will be played on Clay surfaces at Lake Wilson Tennis Club and possibly one other site. All other age groups will play on hard court surfaces. Additional Information will be posted later.

Host Hotel-Special Rate
The Holiday Inn Express on Montgomery Drive will be the host hotel for this event. They are offering a special rate of $89 per night if you tell them you are coming for the tennis tournament. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites is located at 2308 Montgomery Drive in Wilson, NC. The phone number is (252) 246-1588. Remember to mention the tournament for the special rate.
|
Additional Hotels
Follow the link to Wilson Visitor's Bureau Accomodations page. I do not recommend the Hampton chain. The first year of the tournament we had a hurricane and rescheduled the event. They were the only hotel that would not cancel reservations without charging a 1 night minimum.
