SCHEDULING GUIDELINES
Because of a new USTA-mandated procedure for handling lateness penalties for players in groups of matches scheduled at the same time, the match times have been staggered throughout each hour. No longer are times solely set on the half-hour or hour. Therefore, except for the large group of matches that will start each day, few matches will start at the same time. This should help players avoid lateness penalties and will free the tournament desk from putting on a block of matches every half hour. Comments are welcome throughout the tournament.

FIRST MATCH TIME and DRAW INFORMATION
The FIRST MATCH TIMES are directly above at the cleverly named First Match Time Report - they are NOT on the Draws. All matches are at Hudlow. To avoid confusion, the DRAWS do NOT have match times. However, they do have the day of the match.. Next round match times only may be found on the posted draws at Hudlow. It is the PLAYERS' RESPONSIBILITY to get their next round match times from these posted draws BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE SITE!!!! Barring weather issues, no additional match times will be posted at this site. **** It is the PLAYERS' RESPONSIBILITY to get their next round match times from the posted draws BEFORE THEY LEAVE THE SITE!!!!

CAUTION: DIRECTIONS TO HUDLOW TENNIS CENTER Hudlow Tennis Center is about 25 miles north of the airport. It is located off the Jimmy Carter Blvd. exit of I-85 and is about 1.4 miles west of the interstate in Best Friend Park (on the left), not on Best Friend Road!!. Internet directions to Hudlow Tennis Center are a bit misleading. The best bet is to call us when you get in town so we can give you clearer directions. For a map, click "more info" below.

COMPETITOR and ALTERNATE LISTS and LATE ENTRANT INFO If you are near the top of this Alternate List, then you may want to give us your phone numbers - you can e-mail them. The "Alternate List" ( "Alternates by Event" ) is ordered by the 4-23'08 Standing List for the 18's. Players will be called as openings occur. The most "recent" alternate list is the top one. Remember: Alternates have selected multiple sites, so the list may not be as long as it appears. The "Competitor List", located directly above, is the list of players selected for the tournament. This is the list that changes as players are withdrawn and then replaced. There is a "Late Entrant List" of players who missed the deadline. This list is not published, but the players on this list would appear at the bottom of the "Alternate List".

Late Entries
Late entries will be put at the bottom of the Alternate List. If you wish to be a "late entry", then you can e-mail or call us. It does not matter what your ranking is at the moment, you will go on the alternate list after the on-time applicants.
