This tournament is a First Match Losers Consolation tournament
All events in this tournament with the exception of the Junior Doubles draws will be First Match Losers Consolation. The junior doubles draws are single elimination. For First Match Losers Consolation Draws:. If you lose the first match you play, you will go into the consolation draw. If you have a BYE first round, it does not count as your first match. If you move into the consolation draw, please check your match time and opponent one last time before driving to the site. Sometimes scheduled matches in the back draw become BYEs due to the outcome of matches in the main draw.

Matches will be played at the University of Utah Eccles Tennis Center and the Salt Lake Tennis & Health Club. Matches may be indoors or outdoors, so please come prepared for either setting. The adults will also have matches played at Liberty Park Tennis Center. Please be sure to look at the location of your match. If you drive to the wrong location and then are late to the correct location you will be penalized.

Play Begins....and Avoidance Requests
The Tournament will begin on Monday, July 30. Juniors will begin play at 8:30am each day, with adults beginning play at 5:00pm. If you are a junior playing in Zonals, and cannot start until Tuesday, please let me know via email and I will try to work around this conflict. As adults - you may ask to skip 1 day of play if you are competing in 1 event. If you are in 2 events, it will be impossible for me to skip any days of play for you. If you are an adult and need a later start time for your 1 division of play - please let me know and I can make this happen in most cases. Thank you! My email is llambert@utahtennis.com
