Draws/Schedules Published and Available for Review
Draws/schedules for all events are now firm and published for review. Note that due to enforcement of existing Montgomery Parks policy prohibiting permitting of courts on actual Holiday days (like Labor Day proper), the entire tournament must be scheduled to finish by Sunday night. There will not be any matches on Monday. Please contact the TD or Referee only in the unlikely event you are "double booked" into the same time slot; because we cannot predict match winners, we cannot set a fair schedule that may not have players scheduled in back-to-back timeslots. Rest assured that USTA regulations governing rest periods between matches will be observed to resolve any such problems if and as they arise.
NOTE also, the "second match guarantee" requires players' affirmative decision immediately upon finishing his/her first match. Inform the Tournament Desk whether you wish us to try to arrange a second match for you. If you don't do so, we will assume you are not interested. Also, look carefully at drawsheets; some smaller events have a second match built in auotmatically as a 3/4 playoff.
