Boys 18 & 16 singles draws participants
To all the boys 18's & 16's players. Due to the large numbers in these draws and the format of the tournament(full feed-in thru the 1/4 finals) we may not be able to complete the tournament in the consolation bracket. The consolation final may not be played. USTA Rules prevent us from allowing you to play more than 2 matches in one division in a day. Even though tournament websites and brochures say we will play 2 out of 3 sets with a match tiebreaker for the third set in singles consolation, in these two draws we will only play 8 game pros sets in the consolation bracket. Our only solution is to play another day with numbers this big. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
