Information on Tournament Play
Play may begin as early as 5pm on Friday, but every effort will be made to keep play to Saturday and Sunday only. Play will begin on Friday only in the case of draw sizes in excess of 16 entries and/or predicted inclement weather on either Saturday or Sunday per the National Weather Service.
Players should expect to play as many as two matches per day per event. Every effort will be made to keep all divisions on clay courts, although the size of the draws may dictate that some divisions may be moved to hard courts. Court surfaces will be noted on the draw sheets.
Players will receive a player gift and other amenities. Players will receive information on the tournament and all amenities at check-in.
Players must check in with the player registration desk at Cleveland Country Club one hour prior to their first match, especially if their first match is at another site. We will be utilizing the Point Penalty System for behavior and lateness.
Players should continue to check the draw information online as this is the ONLY tool used to communicate with players on inclement weather, changes to match times and match locations.
