* On changeovers, cross at opposite ends of the

back-to-back benches between 2 courts sit only on the designated end of
the bench, and don't put your bag, or belongings, on the marked off
surface. * If you
prefer you may bring your own chair. * The player who is sitting on the side next to
the scoring device will update the score.
After the Match
* When the match ends, both players should report
their score to the umpire near their court who started the match. Make
sure the score is correct! * The umpire will then radio the scores to the
tournament desk, so nothing further is necessary. * Give the match balls to the umpire. * Check the draws online. (The result may not be posted in real

your match is finished and return 10-15 minutes prior to you next match. * Remember, Court assignments for subsequent
matches will be the second part of the match time that is posted on the
online draws.
Spectators
* There may be no spectator seating, so parents
are encouraged to bring chairs.
Individual chairs allow for physical distance between spectators
which courtside stands do not, even if available
NOTES
* Player seating and scoring devices will be
sanitized before play begins each day and between matches. * Courts must be cleared by 7:30 a.m. to allow
cleaning of surfaces before the 8:00 a.m. matches begin. * Because of health concerns, ice will not be
available at the main site (RTC).
The water fountains, if working, may be used at your own risk. * Please bring sufficient ice and fluids when you
come for your match. * Umpires and staff will have temperature checks
at the start of each day as they arrive. * No
matches will be played indoors.
Ultimately,
it is up to each player and/or parent to decide whether to participate in any
event. Further, every player is expected to take all reasonable precautions to
protect themselves from the risk of exposure.
If you are sick with any
symptoms at ALL,
DO NOT ATTEND OR PLAY A
