What a pleasure to host an event with such respectful players.
Thank you players and parents for enjoyable experience.

Thank you to Babolat for the goodies in the player bags and the Hit for Prizes during registration Saturday and Sunday.
Each day Babolat will give a prize to the players recognized for good sportsmanship. If an official gives you the good sports chip, present it to the Babolat desk and you can spin the wheel for a Babolat Prize. Prizes include t-shirts, grips, string, dampeners, hats, wristbands, backpack, and shoes.
Babolat will also give an autographed racquet to the Over-All Sportsmanship Award Winner for each age group.

1 - The first matches of each day will report directly to the court at 7:45, and balls will be on the court. The court assignments will be posted on the big Court Assignment board across from the Tournament Tent. Matches should begin promptly at 8:00. We call this a "Shotgun Start"
2 - In most cases for all matches after 8:00 am, please get in a single-file line at the tournament desk about 15 minutes before your scheduled match time. Do not wait until 9:59 to check in for 10:00. You must go to the bathroom, fill your water bottle, etc. and be ready to go on court before you check in. When using block scheduling, we may use the shotgun start for matches after 8:00 am. Listen for announcements throughout the day regarding match check in.
3 - Once you have checked in, you must stay where instructed until we tell you the court assignment.
4 - We will be watching the clock for lateness. Please do not ask if your opponent has checked in - you have other things to think about. The staff and the Referee will take care of lateness issues, you need only worry about your own timeliness.

Each player is entitled to two lunches on Sunday and Monday. We hope you will share one with your parent or coach so they do not have to stop for lunch. The lunches are available from 9:30 - 1:30. When you are ready for your lunch, you will stop at the first table of the "food court" and you will be asked your name and given one or two tickets depending on if you plan to pick up both lunches at that time. If you only get one ticket, you can come back for your second ticket later if you like. We do it this way because we do not want you to have to keep up with little tickets. When you reach the second table, the lunch staff will ask for your ticket and you will tell them your choice of sandwiches. Most box lunches will include a sandwich, chips, cookie, and a bottled water.
Lunches are provided by Jimmy Johns, Atlanta Bread, Lenny's, Newk's and PDQ.

Please complete the waiver and email (tennismobile@gmail.com) or fax (251) 208-5195.
Include the phone number to use to contact you during the tournament should there be a change for which you need to be notified.

Without confirmation, or a written doctors excuse by the end of the tournament, you may incur suspension points for leaving. Remember if you withdraw during the tournament, you must see the Head Referee in person or it will count as a "No Show."

Alternates.
The Tournament Committee shall prepare a list of those players with timely entries not accepted into the main draw and/or qualifier draw that appear on the Sectional Endorsement Lists.
Ordering the Alternate List.
Alternates shall be ordered using the National Standings List used to accept players into the draw to fill remaining vacancies. Timely entrants who do not appear on the National Standing List shall be ordered by lot and placed at the bottom of the list. Although the USTA Junior Competition Department may publish more recent lists to aid tournaments in seeding, you must use the original NSL used for selection to order Alternates. In fairness to Alternates who are weighing the probability of getting into the tournament, once the order of an Alternate List has been established it may not be changed.
Late Entries.
Late entrants who are eligible for selection (e.g. they appear on a Sectional Endorsement List) shall be listed below timely entrants in the order received. Players who did not enter, but appear on a Direct Acceptance List or are a USTA National Level 2 Tournament qualifier, are not eligible to be late entrants. If these players attempt to enter late, they should be advise to submit a wild card application if the deadline for submitting an application has not passed (5 days after entries close). Late entries received at the same time shall be ordered by lot. Late entrants are not ordered by position on the National Standings List.

Tournaments shall replace withdrawing players after the entry deadline as follows:
Replacement of Player Within Sectional Association Quota Before Draw is Made.
Before the draw is made, the Tournament Committee shall replace a player who was accepted as part of a Section’s quota with the next player on that Section’s endorsement list. This includes players who were alternates and accepted by this method.
Replacement of All Other Players Before Draw is Made.
The Tournament Committee shall replace: • a player accepted from a Direct Acceptance List; • a player who qualified from a USTA National Level 2 Tournament; • a wild card recipient; • an endorsed player accepted from the National Standings List; and • a player accepted from the alternate list for one of these reasons with the highest listed remaining alternate.
Replacement of Player After Draw is Made, but Before the Start of Player’s First Match.
The Tournament Committee shall replace a player who withdraws, is defaulted, or is otherwise removed from the draw after the draw is made, but before the player’s first match with the next highest remaining alternate, unless the Tournament Committee determines the player may remain in the draw. (See USTA Section 6 - 11 Regulation III.B.6. These regulations allow for exceptions when a player has been defaulted for lateness, or has to withdraw from their first round for injury, illness or personal circumstance.)

Procedure for On-Site Alternates.
• Alternates who are on site are asked to register during the Check-In for their age division.
• On each day in which alternates may be accepted into a draw, any alternate desiring admittance must check in and be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate.
• The order of the alternates is based on the original Alternate List published by the tournament, not a more recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the players check in. On-Site Alternates may be admitted into the singles main draw to replace withdrawing players until the completion of the first round of play. On-Site Alternates may not play in the Feed-In Championship or Compass Draw unless they have first played in the singles main draw.
