MATCH TIE BREAK
Due to the very large draws we will use the match tie break in place of the third set in all matches, front draw and back draw, singles and doubles. If players split sets, the match tie break will decide the winner. The match tie break is the same as a set tie break, except the winner shall be the first to reach 10 points by a margin of 2 points or more.

AREA HOTELS
Though Elysium Tennis has a Plain City mailing address, the club is located on the western edge of Dublin, on the northwest edge of Columbus, Ohio. From experience, to get the best deals, it is best to call hotels directly, rather than going through the corporate reservation desk, usually located in another country. The phone numbers are listed for each hotel. Here is a list of the hotels that are closest to the tennis club. They are all located on the I-270 outerbelt or Route 33 on the Northwest side of Columbus, and are within three miles and a five minute drive of the club.
