All Singles Event Complete Schedules Now Published (8:50pm 12/23)
Complete schedules for all singles events are now published, joining Doubles schedules published yesterday. Please note that we have very heavy schedules the first two days of the tournament, so arriving at least 20 minutes ahead of your scheduled match time, and ready to play, is strongly encouraged. If you arrive later than your scheduled match time when a court was available, players can expect to be assessed lateness penalties. Traffic delays are commonplace in our area; for that reason, lateness due to heavy traffic generally does not warrant exceptions to the lateness rules. Please help us make this a great experience for everyone by arriving early for your matches!

**Voluntary First-Match-Loser 1-Match Consolation Draws** To ensure that all players have the opportunity to play in at least 2 matches we are offering Voluntary FML 1-Match Consolation Draws (for singles events only). IF you lose the first match you play, you are required to report to tournament desk and either opt-in or opt-out of the 1-Match Consolation Draw. You will earn ranking points if you win the consolation match. You will not be penalized in any way if you choose to opt-out of playing in the consolation draw; but once you commit to play, you will be reported for suspension points if you withdraw or fail to appear for your consolation match. To enable all juniors to play in a 2nd match, sometimes a player may be asked to play in a 2nd consolation match. If time and court space permit, additional consolation rounds may be played.
