This includes:
· Face coverings are required for all persons present, except for children under 10 years of age, who are exempt. For outdoor venues, once attendees are seated and maintaining 6 feet physical distance from others, face coverings may be removed. However, if moving around where social distancing is not achievable, such as in food and beverage areas, or any area where there is confinement such that 6 feet distancing cannot be maintained, the face covering must be put back in place.
o Athletes, Coaches, and Officials may be without face covering during active play.

Facility Procedures
· The tournament desk will be outside of the Pro Shop.
· The bathrooms will be open inside the tennis center, but with a 4-patron limit at once. Masks must be worn to enter the facility. Our staff and volunteers will monitor.
· Players are expected to bring their own ice and water.
· Spectators will be instructed to bring their own chairs. This will easily allow for social distancing.
· If rain occurs – players should mark their scores under delay in the Match App and wait in their car for further instructions on the rain delay to be announced.
