Draws Are Posted
The draws are posted. Due to the forecast for rain on Friday/Saturday, ALL matches are scheduled for the WLFC until Sunday. On Sunday, all main draw matches will be held at the WLFC and almost all consolation matches will be held at Memorial Park. Please check next to the time for MEM or WLFC to confirm where your match is held. I have open indoor courts from 2:00-6:00 PM on Thursday and from 1:00-5:00 PM on Friday. If you are able to play your match during these open times, please let the tournament director know via email and if your opponent is okay with it, we will move your match indoors to one of these earlier times. Thanks.

Notes
This is the 19th Annual SPAM Slam charity tennis tournament -
the largest adult tennis tournament in the state of Arkansas for
the past seven years.
All singles/doubles matches will use no-ad scoring and play 2
out of 3 full sets. (If sets are split, there is no 10-point
match tiebreaker but instead a full 3rd set will be played). There
is a consolation bracket for first match losers and players are
guaranteed at least two matches. Due to the size of this tournament
and to help the tournament run on time, PLAYERS MAY ONLY
REGISTER FOR ONE EVENT. The first round of the larger events
will begin on Thursday night (6/1) starting at 6:00 PM. The
tournament will continue on Friday (6/2) starting at 5:00 PM and
all day Saturday (6/3) and Sunday (6/4). Players whose USTA
registered address is 60 miles or more from Bentonville, AR will
not be scheduled to play on Thursday night. Awards for 1st place,
2nd place and consolation winners. Pick up one tournament T-shirt
and goody bag per person at the WLFC.
Online registration only - no entries or refunds allowed after the
entry deadline on Monday, 5/29/2017 at 11:59 PM. Special requests
for times/time off can't be granted. Match times will be posted by
2:00 PM on Wednesday, 5/31/2017. Check-in fifteen minutes prior to
match time.

Quick Clarification About "Player Selection Type" The SPAM Slam tournament is open to ALL USTA members AND non-members that enter. Your credit card will not get charged until AFTER the tourney entry deadline IF the event you enter makes. If there aren't enough people registered in your event, the tournament director will not "select" you, and your credit card will not get charged the entry fee (thus avoiding refunds for events that don't make).
