Although it has not rained for several hours, there has been no drying action and the courts are still soaking wet. We need the relative humidity to drop before we can expect them to dry. Therefore there is a ONE HOUR delay from the times posted on the draw.

We just checked all courts at the GGC Tennis Center. It's not raining or sprinkling but there is a light mist. All courts are completely wet at this time. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR 9:00 A.M. START TIME MYABE IN JEOPARDY. Our erstwhile referee will check the courts again at 6:30 A.M. We will post another note here no later than 7:00 A.M. about any delays that may be necessary.


PLEASE CHECK HERE FIRST BEFORE CALLING US. It is so very difficult to evaluate the courts, check atmospheric conditions, make a decision about the start time and then put that next message here by 7:00 A.M. if our phones are constantly ringing.


THANK YOU. NEXT WEATHER & COURTS UPDATE AT OR BEFORE 7:00 A.M. SATURDAY.

This is an intermediate-level tournament sanctioned by USTA Georgia as a Level 4 (Southern Level 5 points). Registration must be completed online. In the future, you can jump straight to this tournament by entering the tournament identification number: 700048819 from the searchable schedule homepage.

Welcome to the Big Mickey Junior Championship Tournament. There will be T-shirts plus snacks for the players. So, please enter our tournament and come have a great time with us.

Boys and Girls registered for 12 and under division will play on a full court with yellow balls.
Boys and Girls 10 and under that are eligible for green balls in Youth Progression will play on a full court with green dot balls.
Boys and Girls 10 and under that are eligible for orange balls or new to Youth Progression will play on a 60’ court with orange balls.

USTA Georgia tournaments do not offer Orange Level 2 divisions. All players that register for Orange 2 will be automatically moved to Orange 1 before the draws are posted.

New for 2019
USTA Georgia is publishing two separate standing lists for 10 and under players: Orange Ball standings and Green Ball standings. Players will receive same level points for this tournament but will be listed in separate standing lists according to their ball color (green ball players no longer receive level 3 points on a level 4 or 5 tournament).

Player selection
This tournament is open for junior players regardless of ranking. You will receive an automated email if your player is selected and your credit card is charged. Southern and then Georgia rankings will be used for seeding.

Late Entrants
USTA Georgia will allow late entrants to be accepted into all USTA GA tournaments in the event that the draw is not full, provided that such late entrants do not affect the seeding and further provided that late entrants do not prevent timely entrants to be accepted into the draw under any circumstances. Accepting late entrants is at the discretion of the Tournament Committee. Seeds must be posted by 12 noon following close of registration. Once draws are posted, the tournament is closed and can no longer accept late entries.

PLEASE NOTE: USTA Regulation IV.C.13 states "A player shall not enter a tournament with the intention of withdrawing if the player’s entry is accepted in another tournament, unless the Tournament Committee for the tournament in which the player has entered understands the situation and concurs with the contemplated action". NO CREDIT WILL BE ISSUED to players withdrawing in order to enter another tournament unless prior approval from our Tournament Committee was obtained.

Players are requested to check in at the TOURNAMENT DESK (located outside on the front porch) at least fifteen minutes prior to the published match time for every match in which they play. BEFORE YOUR FIRST MATCH go inside the front door and immediately on your right is the facility control desk. Turn your medical release form in there and we'll give a T-Shirt. After doing that report to the TOURNAMENT DESK and check in. CHECK IN HAPPENS ONLY AT THE TOURNAMENT DESK OUTSIDE ON THE PORCH. Turning in the Medical Release Form takes care of the boring administrative stuff BUT DOES NOT CHECK YOU IN FOR YOUR MATCH.

If you need to withdraw once the tournament starts PLEASE CONTACT THE TOURNAMENT REFEREE DIRECTLY either by phone or via a text message. The Tournament Referee's phone is 404-797-2104. If withdrawing other than in person we will need a confirming email for our records. Thanks.
