Tournament Update - Format Change - Boys 12's, 14's - Girls 12's
Due to the size of the draws in the above divisions and the desire to accommodate all participants who are making the effort to come all the way to the Lake Tahoe area we are shortening the format for these divisions in order to comply with the USTA guidelines for number of matches played in one day at junior tournaments to the following. Singles - Best of three tiebreak sets with a 10 point tiebreaker in lieu of a third set. Doubles - 8 game pro sets. Also in order to allow our participants the best possible tournament experience we will allow anyone that does not want to participate in this event in the above mentioned divisions a full refund without penalty. This must be exercised prior to the completion of the draws. The draw will be posted early Wednesday morning. Thank you again for helping to make the Tahoe Donner Tournaments a continued success. See you on the courts. Ian Mindell

Online Registration Has Closed
The ability to sign up online has closed but entries are being extended through Monday, September 9th. Also remember that the entry fee is a base fee so that gives players the ability to play singles and doubles for one price. So do not miss out on the opportunity to get extra match play in this weekend. Thank you. See you on the courts. Ian Mindell

Warm-up Clinic Saturday and Sunday
With having a majority of the courts being used for match play starting at 8am on both Saturday and Sunday during the tournament we are unable to offer warm-up courts to players with match times after 8am. This we year we are offering a warm-up clinic instead scheduled for the hours of 8am to 9am and 11am to 12pm on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. This will be with our Head Professional Malcolm Ridenour and the cost is $10 per hour or $5 for a half hour. Malcolm will focus on basic drills to help get the players warmed up and ready for play. In the afternoon we will start to have warm-up courts available as the need for match courts lessens and we can offer warm up time equally to everyone. Thank you. Ian Mindell
