We look forward to hosting the Smashers tournament this weekend. All matches will be played at Edmond Center Court, 601 W. 15th St., Edmond, OK. 73013. Matches will be played BOTH indoors and outdoors so make sure you bring clothing appropriate for each venue.
Doubles: There are NO doubles draws that made this tournament.
Crossplay Matches: There are NO crossplay matches for any of the events this time. So once your round robin pool is completed, you are done!
Format Notes: ALL round robin pools that have 5 players in their pools will play ONE GAME SETS. The times are these draws are for tournament organizational purposes only. After your first set, please check back in with the tournament desk and be ready to play all the other sets as quickly as courts are available. The draws that the one game set format applies to are: Girls' 10 Green A, Girls' 10 Orange A, Boys' 10 Orange A, Boys' 10 Orange B.
Scoring Info: Singles – Best of 3 short 4-game sets; no add scoring with a 7-point tiebreak played in lieu of the 3rd set (win by two). Short set: 1st to 4 games by a margin of 1 NOTE: If you have a 5-player RR, players will play one 4-game short set (first to win 4 games by a margin of 1 game, no ad scoring.
Court Monitors: I am doing my best to find court monitors. This is not an easy task - especially for as many matches as we have on Sunday! I think we set a record on Smashers attendance. Please be courteous to these court monitors. Remember that they are NOT chair umpires. They are simply there if the players have a question or if the court monitors decide to intervene. Due to the way court monitors have been treated by spectators, it is really hard to get them to volunteer anymore. Please be kind and appreciative. It is the players' job to call their lines, keep up with their score, and know when to ask for help. None of this rests on our volunteers.
Check-In: Please make sure you have your child check back in with me before every scheduled match. When they check in, they should be ready to go immediately to the court for their match.
Facility Notes: Edmond Center Court will open at 7 am on Sunday. Ice and water will not be available due to COVID - please bring your own.
Draws are posted! Look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday!
