King Daddy May Challenger 1-Day (10s)

Missouri City (MCREC) is on time with no delays
Lee Leclear(LL) is on a 2 hour delay. For this site, if you were originally scheduled to play at 11:45 or earlier for your first match, you are on a 2 hour delay. If you were scheduled to play your first match at 12:00 or later, report at 2:00.

We just got rain at Lee Leclear. We will be on a one hour delay for all matches at LL. We will post another message update at 8:00

After checking courts this morning, sites are dry. No delays at any site at this point. That said, radar doesn't look favorable for 7:00-7:30. I will post another message IF IT STARTS TO RAIN.

10 & Under – USTA Texas regulations mandate that all junior sanctioned tournaments offer 10 & Under Orange Ball Division (orange ball, 60 foot court and 25 inch racquet) and 10 & Under Green Ball Division (green ball, 78 foot court and 27 inch racquet). For the full 10 & under regulation, please visit our website www.texas.usta.com, click on 10 & Under Tennis.

First-off Consolation – All Challengers and CMZs use the First Off Consolation Format. This format will show as Single Elimination on the tournament homepage, but all players are guaranteed two matches. This format eliminates “maybe matches” and almost every player in consolation will play their first consolation match on Saturday. How does it work? Players that lose in the main draw will be fed into the consolation draw in the order that they come off the court (i.e. the first player to come off the court will go on line one, the sixth player to come off the court will go on line six). This new format ensures more players playing on Saturday and an overall better tournament.

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.

USTA Texas "No Late Entries" Policy for Juniors Due to a new USTA Texas internal procedure, junior division players will NOT be able to register for a tournament after the online published deadline. We are aware that currently parents reach out via email or phone to the USTA Texas staff and/or tournament director requesting to be manually added to the tournament after online registration has closed. If a player misses the registration deadline, then he/she will not be permitted to participate in that tournament

Registration Confirmation: As a parent or player it is your responsibility to assure registration in the event. Regardless if you register on the website or mobile app after completing the registration you should visit the USTA web driven site and confirm your registration by finding the player in the applicants list. If you select to skip this process please be aware that should any malfunctions of the system occur, players will not be granted late entrance in the event due to a system error.

Watch out For Watches:
Due to recent advances in watch technology, many watches now allow communication by text or email. Just a cellphone use prohibited on court, we are going to ask that players not wear watches on court. Please do NOT be offended if you forget and go out on court with a watch and are directed to remove it during play by tournament officials. If your watch or device is a medical necessity to monitor bloods sugar levels as in the case for type one diabetes or you have another medical or ADA consideration, please inform the tournament director and the referee at check-in. Please be prepared to show documentation.
