Notes
Checking in: When you check in for your match, you must be ready
to play as described in USTA's Friend at Court--shoes on, water
jugs filled, racquets gripped, bathroom used, etc.--and
within earshot of the tournament desk. Please stay on the upper
level of the lounge area once checked in. If you are not readily
available and/or within earshot when your match is called, you may
be subject to lateness penalties.
Coaching: Between the second and third sets, coaching is allowed--3
minutes before a 10-point tiebreak and 10 minutes before a full
third set. The timer for these breaks begins as soon as the final
point of the previous game ends. Failure to return to court by the
end of the break will result in a time violation. Some courts are
far away from the viewing area. Please plan accordingly.
Water: Lifetime Lakeville has added a filter and bottle filler to
the drinking fountain in the tennis lobby. Please make use of this
to fill your water bottle/jug before going on court. The coolers in
the walkway to the courts will no longer be filled.
Warm-up courts: Courts may be available for warm-up throughout the
weekend, but none are guaranteed. Warm-up court usage is limited to
15 minutes at a time (more than this, and you will be charged for
the full court time), and you are required to share the court with
other players. If you plan to hit before your first match of the
day, booking a court is the best way to guarantee being able to do
so.
Doubles participants without a partner (signed up without or
partner not selected) will be paired randomly with each other. No
requests for partners will be accepted except for partners
designated with your tournament registration.
