Tournament Weather Update #3
Hello Everyone,
The rain has stopped and we are hitting the courts right with the squeegees. We are shooting for a 12:30 start time. So we are on a 4.5 hour delay. If you were scheduled at 8am you are now starting at 12:30pm. If you were at 10:30am you are now starting at 3pm. I would get to your site a little earlier since we will be doing shortened sets in the afternoon so the matches will be moving faster.

Tournament Weather Update #2
Hello Everyone,
The courts are not drying as fast as we had hoped. We are just now getting hit with a little more rain. We are now delayed until 12. Which means if you had an 8am start time you now have a 12pm start time. If you had a 10;30am start time you have a 2:30pm start time now. We are on a 4 hour delay. We will keep you updated as the weather gets better.

10 & Under – USTA Texas regulations mandate that all junior sanctioned tournaments offer 10 & Under Orange Ball Division (orange ball, 60 foot court and 25 inch racquet) and 10 & Under Green Ball Division (green ball, 78 foot court and 27 inch racquet). For the full 10 & under regulation, please visit our website www.texas.usta.com, click on 10 & Under Tennis.

First-off Consolation – All Challengers and CMZs 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.
|
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."
