*** How to Find your Match Date/Time & Location ***
* The following instructions are to be used after the posting of the draws on Wednesday morning * Remember that the 'Challenger' events are now called 'Entry Level' events.
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE AN EMAIL WITH YOUR MATCH TIME AND LOCATION SO PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
On the right of the 'Important Information' button there is a new 'draws' button. Click on it and select the event that a player is registered to. Know
that some draws (e.g. "B12s - Challenger", "B14s - Open", ...) are quite large so the system
divides them in two, so a symbol (with a picture of a draw on it) allows
you to select the top or bottom half of the draw and you could be on
the second part of the draw. Please select the draw of interest by clicking on the numbers on the right of each draw symbol. On the left of each draw, find the player's name and follow the line to the right. That will show you the first match, with a date/time and the abbreviated site name (e.g. SHSTC is Sleepy Hollow Swim & Tennis Club), The sites (names, abbreviated names, addresses and Google maps), are available on the tournament web site. Come 15 minutes before your scheduled match time. After your match, report your match result (win or lose) and ask for your next match time.

Saturday start date of the tournament, any doubles players that have
not previously entered as a team should advise the referee of the
partnership. Both players need to be already registered for doubles. New doubles registrations will only be accepted at the tournament discretion. Players without a partner will then be paired up, as much as possible. It
is your responsibility to check the web site (Competitors list and
draws) to learn about your doubles participation.

*** Concurrent Tournament Rule ***
When entries close, a player shall not be
entered in two or more sanctioned tournaments if any parts of the
tournaments overlap, unless each Tournament Committee involved
understands the situation and concurs in writing. If entries for the
overlapping tournaments close on different dates, approval must be
received from all Tournament Committees no later than the entry closing
date that occurs last. Players who enter a tournament and play it to
completion, may then enter another tournament with overlapping dates
without permission. A player who is on the alternate list in one
tournament is not considered in violation of the Concurrent Tournament
Rule if they enter another concurrent tournament. Players who violate the Concurrent Tournament Rule shall forfeit all ranking points earned at the concurrent tournaments.
