TOURNAMENT SITE and WARM-UP COURTS: • All matches will be played at the Bush Tennis Center. Warm-up courts are available at Midland High School, 906 W. Illinois Ave., Midland, Texas.
SPECTATORS:
· We ask that
each player limit the number of spectators they bring to 1 OR 2 per player if
possible. This will help limit the number of people at the site at one time and
help allow for appropriate social distancing.
MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING IN COMMON AREAS:
· We ask that
players, spectators and tournament staff wear masks when arriving and leaving
facility, walking around the common areas, and in all inside areas – bathrooms
and pro-shop/tournament desk area. · Spectators
are encouraged to bring their own chairs to watch match. This will allow spectators to socially
distance from other spectators and masks will not be required when socially
distanced and sitting in your own chair. · Bleachers
will be available, but in a limited capacity as we request that you socially
distance on the bleachers and wear masks. UPON REQUEST:
Separate match tennis balls will be available upon player
request. Please message tournament
director prior to start of tournament. We
will provide 6 new tennis balls per match – 2 cans with different #’s. Each
player will be assigned their ball # for their service games. This will help to
limit and possibly avoid any touching of the opponent's tennis balls. While
there are no direct medical concerns, this has been brought up as a personal
concern by some players and we will always make the best decisions for players'
safety, comfort and peace of mind.

Excessive Overrule Guideline:
The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Regardless if you register on the website or mobile app after completing the registration you should visit the USTA web driven site and confirm your registration by finding the player in the applicants list. If you select to skip this process please be aware that should any malfunctions of the system occur, players will not be granted late entrance in the event due to a system error.
