Match Formats
Orange ball has been merged into 2 co-ed divisions due to player withdrawals in the girls division. Each player will now play a total of 6 matches, 5 against the players in their bracket and 1 in a final championship round against players from the opposite bracket. There will still be separate 1st and 2nd place trophies for the boys and girls, based on their results against each other. The girls will still play each other individually, but it is not on the schedule. Each match will be first to 4 games, no-ad scoring, no tiebreaks. 20 minute time limit per round.
All other divisions are standard Best 2-of-3 regular-ad short sets (first to 4) with 7 point tie break for a 3rd set. This may change to no-ad if we start the day late due to wet courts.
