The exceptions to this rule would be if we reschedule a match because a previous match ran long, or a blizzard hit and roads were closed. In those type of instances, the Site Director will let the players know the new time that the match will be played. In all circumstances, you should always confirm your match times against the draw.

An exceptional player is defined as a player who is listed in the top 100 of the most current National Standings List in the lower age division. This exceptional player will be considered for seeding. Doubles Seeds will be taken from the most recent Intermountain Standings List. Partners Ranks will be averaged and seeded accordingly. Consideration for seeding will be given for exceptional teams, which are teams comprised of players who are ranked in the top 100 of the most recent Combined National Standings in the lower age group. AS SHOWN IN FRIEND AT COURT - Number of seeds - The number of players seeded shall equal a power of two (for example, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32) The maximum ratio of players seeded shall be one in three, except that any draw may have two seeds.
