Match Times:
Play will begin @ 10:00a.m. for most players. We will be posting times throughout the day. Boys, 10's, 12's, & 14's will play an 8-game pro set with no-ad scoring. Girls 12's & 16's will play a 6-game pro set with no-ad scoring. Girls 10's & 12's are combined as well as Girls 14's & 16's. Boy's 18's did not make.

Scoring Format:
Players will be using a shortened scoring format. Participants will only be playing (1) set per match, based on the number of players in your group. Your set may be the first to win 6 games, 7 games, or 8 games. So, each match will be a pro set with a pre-set amount of games to be played. We will post on-line how many games per pro-set each age group will play on Saturday.
|
Play Format:
Round Robin play. Scoring will be no-ad. There will be court monitors/referees to help with scoring, rules, & to keep play continuous on all courts. Each player needs to report back to the desk after each match. The winner or finalists/semi-finalist of each group will be determined by head-to-head wins & in the event of a tie, the total number of games won, subtracted by the number of games lost will determine the winner or finalists/semi-finalists. That is why it is important for each player to confrim the score at the desk after your match.
|
Draw Information:
If there are not at least (4) players in your age group, you will be moved to the next age group so an event will make. Once the draw is posted, changes can not be made & a default will be entered for anyone choosing not to play. Girls' 10's & 12's will be combined, we only had (2) 10's enter & Girl's 14's & 16's were combined, as we only had (1) sign up for Girl's 14's.
