Once the draws are posted on Tuesday, players will need to click on the draws tab about halfway down the page. Once you have located your draw, find your name on the draw line and pay particular attention to the time and the abbreviation next to the time as this indicates where the match will be played. Then go back to the front page of the tournament and look at the legend of sites with the abbreviation of your match. Click on more info, and a map link with address will populate for that site. It is recommended that players re-check there time on Friday evening to see if any withdrawals have occurred which might advance a player in the draw with a new time. We do our best to send players an email notice of any withdrawals.
Some draws will change locations from Saturday to Sunday, so pay attention as no grace will be given for players who arrive late. Remember that the times posted online are the official times. If a match time is changed at the site due to long matches, make sure and get your new time in writing from the Site Director. Site Directors will be encouraged to update times on the web when time allows.

Warm up courts. Most sites will be open one hour before the 8am matches but no less than 30 minutes:
Players other than the 8am matches are recommended to use tennismaps.com to locate local tennis courts for warm up. There are several tournaments being held this weekend in Dallas, so practice courts at tennis centers and high schools will be difficult. Use local park courts.

Water Ice and other equipment:
Players should come prepared with sufficient water and ice for their matches. We will provide some but it is always a good idea to be prepared. Some of the tennis facilities may be able to string rackets, but it is best to have your rackets strung prior to the tournament and have a back up as well.

Reminder for parents and coaches:
Coaching or talking to players is not allowed unless there is a break between the second and third set. This is generally a 3 minute timed break and players are ask to stay close by the court during this time. If players are not back on the court at the end of 3 minutes and ready to play, point penalties will apply. Coaches and parents are ask not to address other players, coaches or parents during a match. If a problem occurs, only the players can ask for assistance of the roving officials.

Youth Tennis Texas Website: For more information on Challenger, CMZ, or SCMZ schedules, and "Junior Know The Rules," please visit www.youthtennistexas.com
|
10 & Under – USTA Texas regulations mandate that all junior sanctioned tournaments offer 10 & Under Orange Ball Division (orange ball, 60 foot court and 25 inch racquet) and 10 & Under Green Ball Division (green ball, 78 foot court and 27 inch racquet). For the full 10 & under regulation, please visit our website www.texas.usta.com, click on 10 & Under Tennis.

First-off Consolation – All Challengers and CMZs use the First Off Consolation Format. This format will show as Single Elimination on the tournament homepage, but all players are guaranteed two matches. This format eliminates “maybe matches” and almost every player in consolation will play their first consolation match on Saturday. How does it work? Players that lose in the main draw will be fed into the consolation draw in the order that they come off the court (i.e. the first player to come off the court will go on line one, the sixth player to come off the court will go on line six). This new format ensures more players playing on Saturday and an overall better tournament.
|
Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.
