Tennis courts are outdoors. Tournament matches will be played as long as outdoor temperatures are at least 40 degrees (considering windchill) each day, long enough to get the tournament played (for at least a few hours each day). It does not have to be 40 degrees in order to start or finish matches, but overall 40 degrees that day. If matches cannot be played/completed due to low temperatures, players will be issued a credit for a future outdoor David LeMair Tennis Tournament in 2020.

Beginning in 2020, USTA MAS Level 7 events for BG12U will be played with the YELLOW ball. Any players who register for the green ball event for 12U will be transferred to yellow ball event after the deadline.
