ON-SITE ALTERNATES SATURDAY REPORT TIME:---Posted 8-31
Doubles by 9:00am, Singles by 10:30am.
Report to tournament desk. Also, see below for more information.
ON-SITE ALTERNATE PROCEDURES
If you an alternate and have not been admitted by late Friday, August 31, 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.

...WANTED: ALTERNATES... ---Updated 8-10
THE DRAW IS FULL, BUT THERE ARE NO ALTERNATES. So, we need some. Interested parties (include the USTA number) need to e-mail the referee and the alternates will be ordered by the time that the referee receives them. One note is that there is one on-time alternate who takes priority.
PLEASE READ THE DOUBLES ENTRY PROCESS. LISTED BELOW

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.
