Greensboro December Indoor Junior Championships NC L4

The tournament has caught up to the original schedule. All matches will now go back to REGULAR SCORING still playing the 10 point tiebreak instead of a 3rd set. We'd like to thank everyone for bearing with us on Monday.

Please be absolutely sure of your match times. There are potentially 231 matches that have to be played on 8 courts in 3 days. There will be no exceptions for lateness.

Due to the amount of matches, there are some odd times. You don't want to show up at 9:30 AM for a match that is scheduled for that night at 9:30! Also, be sure of your start date. Some divisions do not begin until Tuesday.

Happy Holidays, and we'll see all of you next week!
