Format Boy's & Girl's 10 & under Orange Ball
10 & under Orange Ball will check-in FIRST at the Main Tournament Desk on Saturday, do not check-in at the orange ball courts. There will be a meeting with the Orange Ball Tournament Director - Chelsea Underwood at the Nemours Family Zone Courts (15) minutes prior to your first scheduled match. Awards will be given to the 1st & 2nd place in each DRAW. No matches on Sunday unless there is rain and we have to cancel on Saturday. Scoring Format: Players will play (5) rounds of matches. Match-play is continuous but the Tournament Director will consider an appropriate break between each match. Players will play one set per match to (4) games. Basically, first player to win (4) games. They will use No-Ad scoring and if the mach is tied at 3-3, they will play a (7)pt Tie-Breaker to determine the match and the score would be reported 4-3. For the first round only, players will receive a (5) minute warm up before the match. For each round after that, play will start immediately with no warm up. Courts #5 - #8 Can be used for warm-up from 10:00am - 11:00am. Please do not use any of the other Courts #1 - #4 as we have regular programming going on from 9am-1pm. Thank You

Combining Age Groups!!
Want everyone to know that since this is a "UTR" sanctioned event, if you have read the heading above. It is our goal to have all participants to receive competitive matches in each match that they play. To do this, we may have to move players to another age division so that their UTR matches with other players. For example: In Boy's 16's, we may have 5 players with a UTR 7 and three players who have a UTR below a 4. By hosting a UTR sanctioned event, I would move additional players from the Boy's 14's who had a UTR similar to the Boy's 16's who are a UTR 4 and make a draw with just those particular boy's so they each receive competitive match play. We would not want a UTR 7/8 play another player who is a UTR 3/4. This would not be a positive situation for either player. So, again for example, if your child is signed up maybe in Girl's 12's and she was moved to the Girl's 14's, the reason would be that she was paired with other girl's who have similar UTR. Based on registrations for each age group and UTR group, we hope to provide at least 3 matches for each player. If you have any questions, please send an email.

Therefore, based on the # of entries, your draw could be separated by UTR into smaller draws to allow for draws with closer UTR and similar skill range. Our goal is that each player plays at least (3) matches. The format and draw TYPE will not be determined until after the deadline for entries has closed.
Scoring Format: All players will play best of 2 out of 3 sets. 10pt Tie-Breaker for the 3rd set will be used.
