Tennessee State Jr. Open Hardcourt Championships (TN L2/STA L4)

Events - Alternates by Event

Please review the draw to know your match time. A few match times have been updated in G18 main draw & consolation, G16, B14, and G16 doubles.

G18 consolation will use a scoring format of sets to 4, win by 2 (set tiebreak at 4-4), with a 10 pt match tiebreak if lieu of a 3rd set and regular ad scoring. This will allow us to play three rounds of consolation and leave the finals unfinished.

Awards will vary in division based on the draw/consolation type. In 32 draws, 1st-6th place will be awarded & consolation finalists (consolation finals will be left unplayed in those divisions). 16 player draws will award 1st-4th plus consolation winner and finalist.

Thank you for your patience with us today! We are looking forward to a great day tomorrow.

10&Under Scoring Format
All singles matches in Boys and Girls 10s will play two short sets to 4 with a set TB (7pt) at 4-4 and a set TB (7pt) in lieu of a third set. All matches use NO-Ad scoring. Draws will include Consolation with the goal to play at least 2 matches.
10U doubles will play a set to 6, set TB (7pt) at 5-5, no-ad scoring.

12U, 14U, 16U, 18U Scoring Format
All singles matches in Boys and Girls 12s/14s/16s/18s will be best of 3 tiebreak sets to 6 with a set TB (7pt) at 6-6 and a match TB (10pt) in lieu of a third set. All singles matches use AD scoring. Doubles will be an 8 game pro set, set TB (7pt) at 8-8, no-ad scoring.

Consolation will feature two events if draws are larger than 16, a consolation for Rd of 32 and 16 losers then a separate event for Quarterfinal losers. If draws of 16 or less then one consolation with Rd of 16 and Qtrfnl feed-in.
