This tournament is scheduled to be played the first two days of the sanction period. Day 3 will only be used if we run into rain delays. If everything goes as planned, matches will be played on Saturday and Sunday between the hours of 8 am and 6 pm.
All competitors will play all four rounds of the compass draw, and failure to play the tournament to completion may result in suspension points.
DUE TO THE CURRENT PANDEMIC, IT IS UNCERTAIN WHETHER WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO INDOOR BACKUP. However, having day 3 available as an option should allow us to complete the tournament.

Each team will have a #1 singles player and a #2 singles player determined based on his/her standing on the National Singles Standing list used for selection. In a compass draw by teams, each team match consists of a #1 singles match, #2 singles match, and a doubles match. The team that wins 2 out of the 3 matches wins the team match. After each team match, the teams move to a different part of the compass draw depending on the team result.
Please note, players earn points based on individual wins and not team wins. Even if a team does not advance in the draw, players receive credit for any individual matches won. Each team will be guaranteed 4 team matches, unless the draw is not full for reasons such as teams withdrawing due to injury, illness or personal circumstance.

Singles: Ad-scoring, best 2 of 3 sets, with a 10 point tiebreak in lieu of the 3rd set
Doubles: No-ad scoring, pro set to 6 games with a 7 point tiebreak at 6-6, if necessary
The draw is limited to 16 teams (32 players) in each division.

Boys matches will use Wilson US Open Extra Duty balls.
Girls matches will use Wilson US Open Regular Duty balls.

USTA officials will rove matches all days of the tournament, and will be staffed at a ratio of 1 official for every 4 courts.

There will be a certified athletic trainer on site at all times when matches are being played at Dwight Davis. Please check at the tournament desk for assistance.
