Sunday Tournament Organization and Procedure
Playoff and Consolation matches will be played on Sunday. Selection for the playoff events was done in the following manner: 1) SINGLES PLAYOFF: Girls' and Boys' group round-robin winners and second-place finishers were identified and entered in single-elimination draws. Draws were made with the understanding that players from the same round-robin groups would be in opposite halves so as to not meet until the final, if at all. 2) SINGLES CONSOLATION: Other players were entered in consolation draws, again with the provision that players from the same round-robin group would be in opposite halves. 3) In the case of the Boys 10 Red, USTA regulation II-B-6-c determined the order of finish for the three tied players.

Skills Contests for Tournament Players - Trophies Awarded!
The opportunity to enter one or both of our Skills Contests will be included in every player's entry fee. Contests are Coed. Trophies to the winners! 1) Long Rally Duel - With partners of the players' choice (one entry per player), five (5) rallies will be conducted using green-dot balls. Longest rally wins. In the event of a tie, the team with the highest average of good shots per rally will win. If still tied, there will be a sudden-death playoff. Feed will be from behind the baseline and will alternate between partners. To be good, shots must land in the box defined by the service line, baseline and singles sidelines. Feed does not count as a shot. 2) Serve Consistency and Accuracy - As individuals, players will have five turns of two serves each. Service boxes will be divided in half lengthwise. Server will alternate between deuce and ad courts for each turn, and will have alternate halves of the service boxes as targets during each turn. Best percentage wins. Sudden-death play-off (one turn at a time) will break ties.
