Elysium Summer B/G 10 & 12's Compass Showdown

Due to one players family emergency and another players injury, we are down 2 young ladies in the girls 12's. If any one would like to fill a spot, please email me at the address above. Or if you know some one that would like to play in the Girls 12's, please have them email me as quickly as possible. Thanks.

We will only be having the Boys & Girls 12's divisions this weekend. We only had 2 people sign up for the 10's, so they will not be held. Girls first round matches will be at 1 PM on Saturday. Boys first round matches will be at 2:30. Girls 2nd round at 4 PM. Boys 2nd round at 5:30. Pizza arrives at 5 PM. Girls 3rd round Sunday morning at 9 AM. Boys 3rd round at 10:30. Everyone will have at least THREE matches. Thanks.

Email is our preferred method of communication. Email can be done at any time of the day or night, and more importantly, leaves a definitive electronic trail. Email, due to the clarity of the written word, also tends to mitigate questions of what was stated, at what time, and by whom. If you have any questions, please email the tournament directors at the email address listed above. We monitor messages constantly. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE THE PLAYERS NAME, AND USTA #, and if possible, CELL PHONE NUMBER. Thank you.

Please read the information detailed in the sections below. The explanations contain just about every answer to almost every possible question that may be raised. After running tournaments for 20 years, we think we have covered just about all the bases. But, there may be some things we have missed. If that happens, please email us at the tournament directors email address listed above. We will add the info to future tournaments guidelines page. Thanks.

This is an outdoor tournament. If there is rain or inclement weather, we have indoor courts here, so everything will be played inside. Please make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your published scheduled match time, no matter the weather. The online draws are the official reference for match times, and are always accurate.

Player selection process is as follows: we use a 16 player compass draw format. If 16 or fewer participants sign up for a particular division, all players that have registered for that division will be accepted into that particular draw. If there are more than 16 entrants in a division, per USTA Midwest guidelines, the highest ranked 16 will be admitted into the draw. The remaining registrants will be placed on the alternate list and be called in order of ranking should any players selected withdraw due to illness or injury. If you registered and were not selected - YOU WILL NOT BE CHARGED.

All tournament participants can partake in a tasty pizza party, produced by Papa John's, with pop provided, on Saturday night. Pizza is delivered at 6:30 PM. Siblings are welcome, within reason, to jump in, after the players have eaten. Please use a little discretion, we want to make sure the players get enough to eat first. Trophies awarded for first, second and third places. Each player will also receive an Elysium Compass Draw tee shirt for participating. Donuts on Sunday morning for parents every now and then.
