Abilene ATA March Challenger 2-Day (12s-18s)

The rain has stopped. The Country Club is being very gracious and letting the Boys 14s Semifinals play at the Abilene Country Club on Treadway blvd. All other matches are being scheduled for 1:00 pm at Rose Park. We could still use help squeegeeing for any that can. Thank you!

Unfortunately we are still in a rain delay until at least noon at which time I will post the next update. The rain should be done by then and I will be able to give a more accurate time for matches. We will need to squeegee courts though and all the help we can get will be greatly appreciated.

Rain Delay until 11:00 am. Please check again at 11:00 am for the next update.

Boys 14's - Abilene High School (AHS) 2800 N. 6th, 79603

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."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.

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.
