If you are sick with any symptoms at ALL, DO NOT ATTEND OR PLAY A MATCH. Ultimately, however, it
is up to each player to decide whether to participate in
any event. Further, every player is expected to take all reasonable
precautions to
protect themselves from the risk of exposure. The tournament will have hand sanitizers and will prepare courts between matches.
Please bring your own chair to use on court.
