A 2012 SIGNIFICANT RULE CHANGE---3-MINUTE REST PERIOD-- Posted 4-18 Juniors receive a mandatory 3-minute rest period after the second set when a match-tiebreak is played in lieu of the third set. Coaching is permitted, but the player must stay on the court. After the 3-minute rest period, no further coaching is allowed. If needed, a bathroom break can be taken after the 3-minute rest period. If a player takes a bathroom break during the 3-minute rest period, the player waives the right to further coaching. No coaching is allowed during the bathroom break.

ON-SITE ALTERNATE PROCEDURES---Posted 5-3 If you an alternate and have not been admitted by late Friday, May 11, then you can be an on-site alternate. Alternates must sign-in at the tournament desk no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate. If a default or withdrawal creates a vacancy in the draw, then the alternate who has signed-in and is highest on the alternate list will fill the vacancy. Alternates may play doubles even if they are not admitted to singles
Effective January 1, 2009, the procedure for accepting on-site alternates into the draw was rewritten for clarification as follows: 1. On each day in which alternates may be accepted into a draw, any alternate desiring admittance must check-in and be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate. 2. The order of the alternate list is based on the original Alternate List published by the tournament, not a more recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the players check in.

SCHEDULE OF PLAY---TENTATIVE ----posted 3-22 SATURDAY: One (possibly two) round doubles, two rounds main draw singles, one round consolation singles SUNDAY: Two rounds doubles, two rounds main draw singles, two rounds consolation singles MONDAY: One round doubles, one round main draw singles, two rounds consolation singles (Consolation will not finish)
