Match Format & Inclement Weather Information
All main draw matches will be the best of three sets. There will be
a feed-in back draw as well as additional opportunities for other
play. If matches are relocated to indoor facilities or clay courts,
pro-sets or third-set tiebreaks may be used at the tournament
director's discretion.
The schedule of all matches will be posted at Longwood and players
must report at the time set. Match schedule is subject to change
due to weather. Those not present when matches are called may be
defaulted. In case of rain or cessation of play for any reason,
players shall not leave the grounds until they have contacted the
referee as to the resumption of play. In all such cases, matches
may be played which, in the opinion of the committee, will best
advance the whole of such competitions, irrespective of all
previous schedules. At the direction of the committee, matches may
be completed on surfaces other than grass. There will be playoffs
for 3rd and 4th place in the main draw. All matches in the main
draw and feed-in draw will count toward national ranking. Play will
move indoors as last resort to insure tournament completion. Please
