3:48pm - 12s-18s draws (All Sites) - Courts are drying quicker that we thought. If you were on the court when it started raining, please head back to the site so we can resume play as soon as possible.

3:35pm - In all 12s-18s draws, unless you are actually on the court or in the Quarterfinals without playing a match, your Quarterfinals will be moved to Sunday. Our mission is to have no players having to play four matches on Sunday. Please contact your site if you are in the Quarterfinals to verify your match is being moved. All Semis and Final rounds will be taken off the website shortly. Please give Peter time after play today to reschedule Sunday.Paetow HS: Currently on the courts.
Taylor HS: Matches will resume at 5pm. If you could come to the site sooner to help dry the courts, the help would be appreciated.
Seven Lakes HS: Matches will resume at 4pm.
Morton Ranch HS: Matches will resume at 4:30pm. If you could come to the site sooner to help dry the courts, the help would be appreciated.
Tompkins HS: Matches will resume at 4pm.


3:09 pm- Morton Ranch HS is currently in a rain delay. No further play until 4pm. Will post an update at 3:30 pm.
2:47pm - Tompkins and Paetow HS is currently in a rain delay. No further play until 4pm. Will post update at 3:30pm.

Paetow HS - Rain Delay - Delayed an additional hour from what was previously been posted. Hopefully will resume play at 12:30pm. If you have an originally scheduled 8am match that has not played yet, please report to the courts to start at 12:30pm, weather permitting. For all other matches, please add 3.5 hours to the originally scheduled time.

Morton Ranch Only - 3 hour delay. All 8 am matches start at 11 am weather permitting. Add three hours to your original match time for your new match time. Our intent is to play as much of this tournament as we can without shortening the format. If that means quarterfinals are to be played tomorrow, then that is what we will do. Please report to the site 30 mins before your new match time.
9:05am - Seven Lakes HS - All 8am matches need to be at the site. All other matches will be delayed one hour. If you have a 9am match, it will be at 10am, etc.

We are updating withdraws as soon as they happen. Please check the draws as often as you can because people are withdrawing as we speak.


AT 5AM WE ARE DRY SO WE ARE PLANNING ON PLAY STARTING AT 8AM. NO SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT MAY HAPPEN TILL IT RAINS.f you think you are playing at Royal Oaks Country Club you really need to go to the web site not the app and scroll down to find draws and sites that we are using. If you are still foggy please look through "Just starting out" and "Junior Know the rules". It is your responsibility to show up at the right site at the right time. Please check your draws tonight and before you leave home as I am updating withdraws as I get them.

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.

Registration Confirmation: As a parent or player it is your responsibility to assure registration in the event. 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.
