RAC Spring Championships - Rochester (Girls Level-4-16 draw)

Players must have 100 pts to sign up for the age group they wish to participate in. The top 16 players will be selected. Selections will be based on the most current standings/rankings list published after entries close. Seeding will be based on the most current standings/rankings list published after entries close, using the autoseed method.

If you find your name on the alternate list, it means one of three things: 1. You did not have enough points to qualify for the tournament based on the age group you selected. 2. In the case of a Level 7, you had too many points. 3. You may have been the only player in that age group, therefore it is not being held. - Being placed as an "Alternate" means you did not qualify for the tournament based on one of the above points. - If you do not qualify for the tournament and are not selected, you WILL BE notified via the email address you provided when you registered for the tournament and your credit card WILL NOT be charged. - If you do qualify for the tournament, you WILL NOT be notified and must check the draw for start times. You will also be listed under "Competitors", meaning you have been selected to play in the tournament.

The Computerized List Method will be used for seeding (FAC Comment II, A-4), based on the current standings/ranking list.

Draws are public and those wanting to attend the making of the draw should contact the tournament director to get the exact time when those draws will be made. The selection process for the tournament is done by the USTA Northern late Monday afternoon. The draws will be made late Monday night or Tuesday day.

Players must check in 15 minutes before their start time. Players should sign up with a doubles partner. You may sign up without a doubles partner and every attempt will be made to find you a doubles partner. If some of the single divisions have 5 players or less, we may do a round robin event. If the tournament has fewer than 60 participants, we may run the tournament in two days instead of the scheduled three.

Doubles is optional, but we encourage you to play. Doubles is singles elimination 8 game pro-sets. Please sign up with your doubles partner on-line. If you sign up without a partner, the tournamen director will draw for partners. If your doubles partner does not qualify for the event, your will be moved to the list of players with no partner and we will make every attempt to find you a partner.

Outside commercially prepared food (McDonalds, Subway, etc) is not allowed in the club. The RAC owns the Club Cafe and Deli and does not take the risk of jeopardizing their food license. Coolers are not allowed. Why? Again, we do not want to encourage outside food being brought into the club. If we allow coolers, it also makes it more difficult to monitor the items brought into the club. Small individual coolers are OK to bring in. Players need to have their own personal beverages and ice for change-over’s in a match.
