Special Scheduling Requests will NOT be considered
Unfortunately, we are sorry to inform you that we will not be considering special scheduling requests for this tournament. In this event, we have players playing in multiple events with multiple people at multiple levels. This is a tournament players play all year to get in to, so please understand, all divisions should plan to play 1 match per day... no exceptions. The final Sunday is a rain date only, but yes, we have had rain issues 3 of 6 years so be prepared to play all 4 days. Generally, we follow a standard tournament format playing singles first, then doubles, then mixed each day.

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 and the concurrent tournaments will not count toward the minimum tournament requirement to qualify for Grand Prix.
