NEW TOURNAMENT FORMAT
The 2019 ITA Winter Masters Format has changed. 48 players will be accepted into the tournament in each singles division. These 48 players will be placed on a 64 draw. The format will be a full feed-in consolation through the round of 16 with a Quarterfinal Playoff draw. Best 2 of 3 sets. All consolation matches will be best 2 of 3 sets with a 10-point tiebreak in lieu of the 3rd set. Singles matches will begin Saturday morning at 8:00 am. Doubles will be 8 game pro sets, single elimination. Doubles matches will begin Friday afternoon at 3:00 pm. YOUR DOUBLES PARTNER MUST BE PLAYING IN THE SAME SINGLES DIVISION AS YOU. For example - if you are playing in the Boy's 12's Singles Division, your partner CAN NOT be playing in the Boy's 14's Singles Division. Unfortunately those types of requests can not be accommodated due to the potential scheduling match location conflicts.

CONFIRMATION OF MATCH TIMES

Tournament desk personnel will give out match times to players if asked, but "The players should not rely on being told the time of their matches and should check the draw". The exception to this rule would be if we reschedule a match because a previous match ran long, or a flood washed out the road, etc. In those types of instances, the Site Director will let the players know the new time that the match will be played. IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONFIRM YOUR MATCH TIMES AGAINST THE DRAW.

Parents or guardians of the tournament participants will need to fill out this form in order to be able to video tape anything that will include the other players.
