All draws made and posted. Schedules are updated and correct. CU South Tennis Facility will be open at 7am.
Hello Parents and Players,
As I mentioned previously, I am amazed at the great turn out of players for this, our last tournament of the year at the Rocky Mountain Tennis Center. We've had a couple last minute withdrawals, but we're still close to 100 players for this tournament! So glad to see such great participation, and we at RMTC will be doing everything we can to make it a great day for you all.

For all the above events, with the exception of Boys and Girls 18s (straight round robins only), players have been placed in round robin flights in which each player will play every other player within their respective flights. Once all matches within each round robin flight are completed, each player will be placed in a playoff semi-final (boys 12s & 14s) or final (boys 10s, & 16s, and girls 12s, 14s, & 16s) match based on their round robin finishing records/results.
Parents and players should familiarize themselves with player schedules throughout the day, but please be aware that we are asking each player to check in for their matches 20-30 minutes early, especially their first round match. We have a lot of matches to get through tomorrow, and we will be moving players through their round robin draws as expediently as possible. If players are available and there is an open court, we will be putting matches on earlier than scheduled.
All players playing at RMTC-Boulder (Boys/Girls 16s & 18s), please be aware that there is a CU home football game tomorrow that starts at noon. It gets pretty busy at RMTC during home games, and parking can be challenging. When driving into the RMTC parking lot off Taft Avenue, please let the parking attendant know you are there to play the RMTC Junior Tournament, and you should be fine. If there are any problems, please call 303-449-5033 (RMTC pro shop), and someone will be there to help.
Please stay in touch with the tournament desk throughout the day, and check in early for all matches. But keep in mind, that we do have many matches to be played, and that while we will try our best to run on schedule, if players' matches aren't on time, they will be placed in "the queue" and those matches will be put on court in order. Please let us know if you have any questions about this system. It should be great weather, and we are looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
Best, Kendall Chitambar Director of Tennis Director of Player Development 303.449.5033 RMTennisCenter.com
