IMPORTANT: NEW TOURNAMENT FORMAT FOR 2009
In an effort to be proactive in meeting some concerns about the current economic crisis, we are implementing a different scheduling format this year. The format is designed to shorten the tournament as much as possible without sacrificing the amount of play, thus easing the financial costs that are associated with playing and traveling. The following are the changes that will be implemented for the 2009 TN Junior Qualifying, WEATHER PERMITTING.
-Both main draw and consolation draw matches will be 2 out of 3 sets, with a match tie break in lieu of a third set
-The main draw will play two rounds a day, and the consolation draw will play three rounds a day.
-Doubles will begin Friday evening, May 29th. All doubles matches will be one 8-game pro set
-All singles will still begin Saturday morning, May 30th.
