all Consolation matches will play a Match tiebreak (Supertiebreak)
in lieu of the third set with advantage scoring on all matches.
Some players in the Consolation may be playing up to three matches
in a day. A player will be entitled to a three minute break after
splitting sets and before playing the Matchtiebreak. The player is
allowed to leave the court, talk to a coach or parent, make a phone
call, etc. We recommend you DO NOT leave the court because of the
short time frame, and we will allow coaches, parents, etc to talk
with you behind the tarp of the court but not on the court. If a
player is late coming back to the court, the penalty is loss of a
game, which in this case results in Loss of Matchtiebreak or
Loss of Match.
