Sunday 11:20am: Tournament Canceled Due to More Rain
We just received another round of rain here at the club, and the courts are absolutely soaked again. Unfortunately, we will have to cancel the tournament at this point. Thanks to everyone who signed up and played, and maybe one day soon the weather will let us play a full weekend of tennis!

Seeding and Withdrawals
Seeding: This tournament's seeding will be done in accordance with USTA Regulations. They will be compiled and examined by the Head Referee, Tournament Director, and members of the Tournament Committee. Factors to consider in seeding (taken from "USTA Friend at Court"): Seedings merely represent the Committee's subjective ratings of the various players' chances of winning the tournament. These ratings may not be based on whim, caprice, or hunches, but instead shall be justified by a reasonable amount of factual evidence, including, but not limited to, rankings, current records, types of surface, and particularly head-to-head encounters. Two outstanding doubles players playing together for the first time should be considered for a place on the seeded list.
Players will be selected based on the most recent published NC standing list.
Withdrawals: If you need to withdraw before entries close, you must do so online. Click on "Edit Registration," then "Withdraw." You will need your original confirmation number. All withdrawals after "Entries Close" must be sent in writing via email to foremantennis@gmail.com. Players withdrawing after the tournament deadline will not be refunded the entry fee.

Limited Draws/Events and Selection Process
