Format
Attention all players!!! The tournament format for open players is first match loser consolation and match format is 2 out of 3 w match tie for singles main draw and back draw. Please check the draws online if you lose your first match. The front desk will give you a best case scenario time for your match and will try to be updating the draws in real time. As it goes with consolation, sometimes in the second round when a seed loses a match then a consolation match may be scheduled if it was the seeds first loss. If the seed wins then the consolation match will not occur if it his opponents second match. Consolation can be confusing at a 2 day event. Please only go by what the draws say and you cannot go wrong! Players are responsible for their start times. If a front desk person tells you what time your consolation match is then please check the draws as players are ultimately responsible for their start times. Again, please click on the consolation bracket draw before you head to your match to double check what time you play!!!! As I said, we will be trying to update the draws in real time so please check the draws twice before you come to your consolation match. Good luck and have great tournament!!!
