Important Parking Notes- Especially Saturdays
Parking and Check in Procedures- (Note afternoon parking specifications on Saturday.)
Parking all weekend, Saturday and Sunday specifics- Avoid C spots! There is no fee to park in B or F spots. (B is right next to the courts, F is the Leavy Center Basketball stadium parking lot.)
Saturday parking after 4:30pm
If you plan to be at SCU past 4:30pm please note that due to San Jose Earthquakes soccer there are additional parking restrictions. You can only park either on El Camino or in a B spot. If you are parking in an F spot before 4:30 and stay there past 4:30 you are subject to towing. F is strictly off limits after 4:30pm even if you have been there all day.
To view B and F spots, click the interactive parking map at the attached link.
You will see B is located right next to the courts and across the road from there. We will not accommodate late arrivals due to parking issues. You should arrive at least 20 minutes early to accomodate for the distance from parking to the courts. You are late if you are not checked in by the time your match is scheduled, you are defaulted 15 minutes after... checked in means you have gone to the bathroom, put on your gear etc... IN ADDITION, THE SPOTS THAT SAY 24 HOUR ENFORCED "C" SPOTS MEAN JUST THAT. ANY DAY OF THE WEEK INCLUDING WEEKENDS YOU WILL RECEIVE A TICKET IN THOSE SPOTS. OTHER PLAYERS HAVE IGNORED THIS WARNING, SO DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. AS ALWAYS, THE TOURNAMENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PARKING VIOLATIONS, THESE VIOLATIONS MAY BE UP TO $50. DON'T TEMPT THE SCU PARKING PATROL! PARKING TICKETS ARE A BIG BUSINESS AT SCU! Saturday and Sunday parking- other than C spots, all are open.
Sunday is a normal parking day minus the 24/7 C Spot restrictions.

Checking in for your match
Please try to check in for your match 20 minutes early. Junior tournaments are very unpredictable, as many quick matches as we will have, we will have long ones too. Not having younger age groups usually keeps our tournament moving quickly. Players should check in for their matches, not parents! We believe firmly that a big part of tournament play is the junior player learning how to check in, report scores etc... Once players check in, they should sit on the bleachers near the tournament desk so they can hear if they are called. When you are called for your match, you should have been to the bathroom, gripped your rackets, tied your shoes etc...!

T-shirts
As most players registered online, we have t-shirt orders for you. That is the size you will get upon checking in. If the size does not work for you, we will ask you to check back later on Sunday as we need to be sure we have the right sizes for each person that ordered one. Those signing up as late entries do not have a size reserved, but we do have enough shirts for everyone and will do our best to get you the right size.

Draw and match format
2 of 3 sets, with a 10 pt. match tie break for the 3rd set. Regular ad scoring. There is no consolation except for a 3rd place match after losing the semifinals.
