2019 Excellence Notes
The goal of this compass draw tournament is to give players the
opportunity to play 3 to 4 matches in a non-elimination format. Because
of the varied number of entries in each age division and withdrawals
after the entry deadline, we have put the following guidelines in place.
Draws for this tournament will not be published until the prior
Thursday at 6:00pm. After Thursday at 6:00pm, if a withdrawn player does
not affect seeding, then players may be moved to the open line (as per
Friend at Court alternate list). If a withdrawn player is seeded, then
players may be moved and seeding may be corrected (as per Friend at
Court regulations).

This form must be completed, once per calendar year, by every player prior to participating in their first event of that year. Failure to complete this form prior to the event will make the player INELIGIBLE for that event. For this tournament, players must have the waiver completed by their first match time.
If you are planning on participating in any Super Champ or Champ Major Zones in 2019, we strongly advice that you complete this form as soon as possible and avoid the risk of being ineligible for an event.
