Cell phone numbers are important for us to have. Every tournament has at least one player unable to compete due to an injury or ailment which may affect your next match. The USTA no longer provides us with cell numbers or email addresses due to the old wash woman worries in the corporate legal department. YOU NEED TO FURNISH THEM TO US FOR US TO HAVE THEM. Please send a quick email with the players name, email and cell number where we may reach them in case of an emergency. if your opponent is injured, we like to to contact you so you are not standing around for 3 hours waiting for you next match. We will not disclose the numbers to any one else. Thanks.

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.

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. We monitor the directors email, listed above, constantly. Thank you.

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.
