SCHEDULE UPDATE: Sat. 7:40 pm

Concurrent Tournament Rule
A player shall not be entered at the time entries close in two or more USTA sanctioned tournaments scheduled to take place at the same time, in whole or in part, unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the situation, concurs in writing, and each agrees to accommodate the player’s schedule. The final decision rests with each tournament committee. If one tournament agrees to accept concurrent entries and accommodate the player's schedule but the concurrent tournament does not, the player may not enter both.
If entries for the overlapping tournaments close on different dates, approval must be received from all Tournament Committees no later than the entry closing date that occurs last.
Players who enter a tournament and play it to completion, may then enter another tournament with overlapping dates without permission.
If a player violates this concurrent tournament rule ranking points earned in any concurrent tournament played will not count toward ranking or the Grand Prix Points Race.

Players are limited to two events: either one singles and one
doubles event or one mixed doubles and one men's or women's
doubles. All singles matches will be best of 3 tiebreak sets with a
minimum rest period of one hour between matches. All doubles
matches will use a modified format in which a 10 point match
tiebreaker will be used in lieu of the third set. A one-half hour
minimum rest period is guaranteed between all doubles matches. If
you cannot play on Friday evening you must request an avoidance. If
the avoidance cannot be granted you will be refunded your entry fee
less the Tennislink administrative fee. Be prepared to play two
rounds per event entered over the weekend. Players may enter
singles and doubles in different divisions.
