Notes
This tournament will run the same "Compass Draw" format as a
Sweet 16, but not limited to the top 16 players who enter. The 1st
16 who enter into an age group will be in the draw. Players will
get to play multiple rounds, up to 4 matches. Once the 16 player
field is full, others will be placed on the waiting list and
allowed to enter if we have others who drop out. This will be a
great event for those of you looking to get a bunch of match
play.

"Player shall not enter tournament player cannot finish. Player
shall not enter a tournament (including mandatory consolation)
knowing the player will be unable to finish." p119 Friend at
Court
In theory, the Junior Competition Committee feels that it is

Suspension Point System. In recent years, several players have been
pulling out of tournaments, especially L3-5 events, on the final
day of competition or once a player is in the back draw.
