DRAWS ARE POSTED- REVIEW IMPORTANT INFO BELOW
Please be aware that several draws are round robins. It is important to look at each round and each time as they are not always necessarily in chronological order. Times are subject to change if an error was made. We cannot make changes for schedule accomodations now that draws are posted as it may affect the entire draw. Some times may change depending on the results of players in crossover events. I.E. Men's 3.5 players playing Father son divisions. Fortunately, we were able to limit draws on Friday to only 10 matches. We are sorry to those who do have to play on Friday. An email with parking, fee payments, check in info. and such will be sent on Thursday night. We will use a 3rd set tie break in the NTRP categories. Thank you.

Parking and Check in Procedures- Please read carefully
Parking all weekend, Friday and Saturday specifics- Avoid C spots!
Please note, if you have a Friday match, you will have to pay for parking until 8pm. To purchase a pass, drive past the Leavy Stadium and go to the main entrance on the left to purchase a pass. We strongly recommend you park on El Camino Real to avoid parking fees. We will not accomodate 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.

Tournament Director Selection Process- What does it mean?
Frankly, very little for the players. We use this process because it makes it easier to not have to refund money should a draw not be big enough to hold. You will receive confirmation when you register that your credit card has been charged $0, this is because you are not charged until entries close and we process your entries. Do not be alarmed, we have yet to have to keep anyone out of a tournament because draws are too big! Again, this is basically just an administrative tool. Once we process entries, you will receive an automated email from Tennis Link. It will say the following... 1. You were selected and charged. 2. You were selected but there was a problem charging you. This usually is an expired card issue. Email jscalese@scu.edu asap to arrange payment by check. 3. You were not selected- The only players that were not selected into the draw are players who registered for events without significant entries.
