Each team will play a minimum of three matches unless playing conditions prohibit. If matches are relocated to indoor facilities or clay courts, pro-sets or third-set tiebreaks may be used at the tournament director's discretion.
The schedule of all matches will be posted at Longwood and players must report at the time set. Match schedule is subject to change due to weather.

In all such cases, matches may be played which, in the opinion of the committee, will best advance the whole of such competitions, irrespective of all previous schedules. At the direction of the committee, matches may be completed on surfaces other than grass. there will be playoffs for 3rd and 4th place in the main draw. All matches in the main draw and feed-in draw will count toward national ranking. Play will move indoors as last resort to insure tournament completion.
