PLANO CHAMPIONSHIP MAJOR ZONE (CMZ)

It appears that the last wave of rain will soon move through the Plano area. Therefore, we have scheduled all matches to start at 4:30 p.m. Please arrive early—we need help from family and friends in rol-drying the courts.
To allow all matches to start at 4:30 p.m., we have added another site--Collin College. Consequently, we must move 5 events to Collin College. Those events are: Girls 14 Blue, Girls 16 White, Girls 16 Blue, Girls 18 Red, and Girls 18 White. All other events will play at their original site.
Tournament Committee

Rain is still falling at all three sites. We will wait until at least 3:00 p.m. before making a decision whether to try to play or to cancel the Main Draws. Please check this website frequently for future weather updates. Thank you.
Tournament Committee

We have cancelled play in all of the Consolation draws. To the players in the Consolation draws, we appreciate your patience and we hope to see you again in our next junior tournament, the Children Helping Junior Singles on September 27-28. Good luck in your next tourney!
For players in the Main Draw, we still want to complete all play and will wait until at least 3:00 p.m. before we make a decision on possibly cancelling the last round of play. If we see a break in the weather, play could start again as late as 6:00 p.m. Please check this website or call 972-941-7170, option 5, by 1:00 p.m. for the next update.
All decisions concerning possible cancellations are made in consultation with the Junior Competitive Department of the USTA Texas Section.
Thank you.

The courts are dry and play is on as scheduled. Players and parents are advised to check this webpage frequently today, however, since rain is in the forecast. We will update this webpage and our phone weather message (972-941-7170, option 1) as often as needed.

Saturday, 9:40 p.m.
We will update this webpage by 6:30 a.m. if rain is an issue tomorrow morning. We will also post a voice message at 972-941-7170, option 1. The voice message system can handle many calls at one time and is an excellent source of info if online access is not possible.
If we have rain early tomorrow morning, we will start play as early as possible after the rains ends. Please check the webpage often for updates and be ready to get to your playing site as quickly as possible. We plan to complete the tournament if at all possible. Alternate formats of play ((No-ad scoring, deciding match tiebreak, shorts sets) may be used to shorten matches and increase the likelihood of finishing the tournament.
Thanks You.
Tournament Committee

With rain predicted for Sunday, we have scheduled an additional round of play (quarterfinals) of the main draws to be played on Saturday. Please check the playing times posted on this website for updated times for the quarterfinals in all main draws.
Due to more matches being played on Saturday than originally planned, the entire Sunday schedule has been changed. Please check the draw sheets on this website for updated playing times on Sunday. One playing site has been eliminated—please also check playing sites on Sunday closely.
On Sunday, there is a good chance that we will shorten the matches, especially in the consolation draws. No decision on such will be made until Sunday.
Thank you.

Due to multiple weather cancellations, the Junior Tennis Council has decided to increase the Champ Major Zone (CMZ) point chart for April 2014 only. This is a one-time change. Final rounds of the main draw will not be played. Rounds of 32 and 16 will play a 10-point tiebreaker in lieu of the third set. The quarter-final and semi-final rounds will play full two-out-of-three set matches. Players who reach the finals of the main draw will automatically qualify for Super Champs. more info

Champ qualified players may play in any age eligible age division in Champ Major Zones. Players will only earn points in the age division played. Champ points earned in older age divisions do not count in natural (younger) age division. Champ players must still meet age up requirements in either natural or older age division.

New CMZ Consolation Format
Starting on January 1, 2013, CMZs will use a new consolation format known as the “The First Off Method.” This new format eliminates “maybe matches” and almost every player in consolation will play their first consolation match on Saturday. The Tournament Director will have more detailed information on this format.
