WEDNESDAY MATCH TIME REPORT
|
Final Results are directly above. We thank all for playing and for your patience during the delays on Saturday and Sunday....
|
Look above at the FIRST MATCH TIME REPORT for your first match time. Times are not on the draws. All matches will be at Hudlow. 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. See below for more informationBecause 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.

ON-SITE ALTERNATE PROCEDURES If you an alternate and have not been admitted by late Friday, May 15, then you can be an on-site alternate. Alternates must sign-in at the tournament desk no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate. If a default or withdrawal creates a vacancy in the draw, then the alternate who has signed-in and is highest on the alternate list will fill the vacancy. Alternates may play doubles even if they are not admitted to singles.
Effective January 1, 2009, the procedure for accepting on-site alternates into the draw was rewritten for clarification as follows: On each day in which alternates may be accepted into a draw, any alternate desiring admittance must check-in and be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate. The order of the alternate list is based on the original Alternate List published by the tournament, not a more recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the players check in.

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 4-15'09 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, though their names will not be published. 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. Late entries are ordered by the time that the tournament received notification.

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.
