MANDATORY TOURNAMENT CHECK-IN AT BAYLOR: PLEASE FILL OUT THE MEDICAL RELEASE FORM & BRING IT WITH YOU TO BE ABLE TO CHECK IN
Mandatory means just that. We are staying until 8:00 pm for your convenience. We feel strongly that you should be able to make it by that time. For those of you that "just cant make it by that time" need to do the following and please do not call and ask for permission to miss check-in: 1- Make sure your entry fee has been paid - check the Tournament Entry Fee Report when posted. 2 - Show up 1 hour before your match time to check in at BAYLOR either you play at Baylor or at Champions . Please be patient with us when checking in, we will be focused on getting matches on and off the court. Checking in people at this time will be a detriment to the tournament. 3 - Those of you playing 8:00 am matches will need to be on your assigned court at 7:45. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time. For most of the day on Saturday we will only have one person checking in players for the tournament (those that did not come the night before). Obviously, this is not enough to check in everyone 30 minutes before their match times. If you are not on your court by your assigned match time, you will be penalized. Because you did not check-in the night before, is no excuse for being late for your match. We cannot predict if there will be 5 people or 50 people waiting to check in when you do. You cannot play your match until you have checked in for the tournament. If there is a line that causes you to be late for your match, unfortunately, that will be your problem that could have been avoided. Therefore, we urge all of you to check-in on Friday this includes Locals, Commuters, and Travelers. Thank you for your cooperation.
