TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
We wanted to give you some general guidelines on how we will run the tournament this year and the tentative tournament schedule for each age group. First, the two biggest draws will begin on Wednesday, June 19. The last few years that has been Boys 18 and Boys 16. We expect to do the same this year unless another draw is much higher than either of these two. If there are several draws that are close, it will be B18 and B16 that will start on Wed. Draws will be posted by Friday evening. THERE WILL BE TWO ROUNDS PLAYED PER DAY IN EACH AGE GROUP. Obviously you may not play 2 matches if there are byes or defaults in the early rounds. However, the MAIN DRAWS will be done in 3 days. Consolation will take one extra day. We will TRY to have all round of 32 and beyond main draw matches at UMW on outdoor courts. Might not be possible with scheduling. However, several age groups will play their first round at an alternative site. We will be using INDOOR courts for consolation matches. We will try to have the entire round of that gender/age group played at the same site, including indoors.

School Exams INFO!!!
UPDATE: We cannot make any promises about starting times due to school conflicts. Please see "Tournament Schedule" in notes about information on which draws start on Wed and which on Thursday. The whole tournament will have matches that run from 8 AM - 7 PM each day. PLEASE EMAIL ME ALL EXAM CONFLICT REQUESTS by this Thursday even if you already sent me email with questions./conflicts. Here are some guidelines.... We cannot start any match later than 2:00 that would play a second match that day. That would have us potentially finishing too late. Also, starting late afternoon and coming from DC is clearly unpredictable with I95 traffic. Finally, there is NO WAY to know where your child will be in draw on day 2 of their event, so there are too many matches to schedule late with those players...won't work and not right to adjust schedule day by day for everyone's planning purposes. So, we will work with you on above on day 1 of your event. But after that, no promises. If you enter but have to pull out due to exams, please email me.
If you have exams on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, please contact Todd Helbling- thelblin@umw.edu and provide him with your detailed exam schedule so he can attempt to schedule matches around exam times. You will need to send him this information by Friday at 9 AM.
