SEEDING
SEEDING will be done using only SC and Southern Tournament rankings for adults. Our committee decided to support tournament players (and encourage new ones to play) by using these rankings since these are NTRP divisions. The All Factors Method will be used for any division which does not have rankings available.

HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE!!
Sunburn players & volunteers. . . . Please begin hydrating now! Beer and soft drinks do not count! It is important you begin drinking plenty of water well before you start playing. Once you begin play, please hydrate before during and after. Proper nutrition, hydration and limiting alcohol consumption are key in avoiding heat related injuries. We will do our best to keep the water coolers on court filled with cold water but it is strongly recommended that you bring your own cooler with water and other drinks that may provide hydration. Otherwise, you can purchase sport drinks at the facilities. Please see attached link for additional info. We want you to be safe & have fun! http://assets.usta.com/assets/1/15/2008_Heat_and_Hydration_for_Tennis_Final.pdf
