Format for the Main Draw is two-out-of-three sets, with a deciding 10-point match tie-break, regular (ad) scoring through the quarters. There is a mandatory three-minute break and players may receive coaching. Semi and Finals matches will play a full two-out-of-three set, regular (ad) scoring, mandatory 10 minute rest period and players may receive coaching.

Consolation will play two-out-of-three sets, with a deciding 10-point match tiebreak, regular (ad) scoring. There is a mandatory three-minute break and players may receive coaching.

Consolation will use the "First Off" method for determining opponents.

All CMZ tournaments will use the First Off Consolation Format. This format will show as Single Elimination on the tournament homepage, but all players are guaranteed two matches. This format eliminates “maybe matches” and almost every player in consolation will play their first consolation match on Saturday. How does it work? Players that lose in the main draw will be fed into the consolation draw in the order that they come off the court (i.e. the first player to come off the court will go on line one, the sixth player to come off the court will go on line six). This new format ensures more players playing on Saturday and an overall better tournament.

The seeding was based on the latest Championship Standing List, combined with seeding directives from USTA Texas Junior Competitive.

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.

Registration Confirmation: As a parent or player it is your responsibility to assure registration in the event. Regardless if you register on the website or mobile app after completing the registration you should visit the USTA web driven site and confirm your registration by finding the player in the applicants list. If you select to skip this process please be aware that should any malfunctions of the system occur, players will not be granted late entrance in the event due to a system error.
