Notes
All Sunday match times have been published. Please double-check
the draw to be sure that you know your match times!
Once play begins, call the tennis desk (952-232-1382) and ask for
the tournament director.
Checking in: Please check in 15 minutes before your match time
if at all possible. When you check in for your match, you must
be ready to play as described in USTA's Friend at Court--shoes on,
water jugs filled, racquets gripped, bathroom used, etc.--and
within earshot of the tournament desk. Please stay on the upper
level of the lounge area once checked in. If you are not readily
available and/or within earshot when your match is called, you may
be subject to lateness penalties.
Coaching: Between the second and third sets, coaching is allowed--3
minutes before a 10-point tiebreak and 10 minutes before a full
third set. The timer for these breaks begins as soon as the final
point of the previous game ends. Failure to return to court by the
end of the break will result in a time violation. Some courts are
far away. Please plan accordingly.
Water: Lifetime Lakeville has added a filter and bottle filler to
the drinking fountain in the tennis lobby. Please make use of this
to fill your water bottle/jug before going on court. The coolers in
the walkway to the courts will no longer be in use.
Warm-up courts: Courts may be available for warm-up throughout the
weekend, but none are guaranteed. Warm-up court usage is limited to
15 minutes at a time (more than this, and you will be charged for
the full court time), and you are required to share the court with
other players. If you plan to hit before your first match of the
day, booking a court is the best way to guarantee being able to do
so. Warming up on open courts will not be allowed once play has
begun unless the court has been booked and paid for. See the
tournament director with questions.
Doubles participants without a partner (signed up without or
partner not selected for a draw with a limited # of entrants) will
be paired randomly with each other. No requests for partners will
be accepted except for partners designated with your tournament
registration. If there is an odd number of doubles players without
partners, one player will be randomly left partnerless.
