FACILITY/SAFETY PROCEDURES
Due to the ongoing
concerns of COVID-19, tournaments and the people who participate in them will
need to follow the Arkansas Department of Health’s Directive for Community and
School Sponsored Team Sports. Please click
on the link above to view the state’s directives.
This
includes:
·
Face coverings are required for all persons
present, except for children under 10 years of age, who are exempt. For outdoor
venues, once attendees are seated and maintaining 6 feet physical distance from
others, face coverings may be removed. However, if moving around where social
distancing is not achievable, such as in food and beverage areas, or any area
where there is confinement such that 6 feet distancing cannot be maintained,
the face covering must be put back in place.
o
Athletes, Coaches, and Officials may be
without face covering during active play.
Facility Procedures
·
The tournament desk will be in the Rebsamen
tournament building, but players will not be allowed in the room (only the TD,
trainer, Official on break, and the racquet stringer).
·
The bathrooms will be open.
·
Bring your own ice and water.
·
People will not be allowed to sit on the
bleachers. Spectators must bring their
own chairs. There will be plenty of room
for them to do so. Players are expected
to bring no more than two people per match to the facility.
·
If we are to go into a rain delay, players will
be asked to go to their cars and report their current scores to the Tournament
Referee through text messaging.
Safety Procedures
·
Do NOT play if you have any symptoms of COVID-19
(see the CDC Guidelines on the link above),
or are not feeling well.
·
Social distancing (6 ft) is required at all
times.

Bring your own hand sanitizer.
·
Wash your hands before AND after play.

tennis bag).
·
Maintain a safe, physical distance between
yourself and your opponent during the racquet spin at the start of the match.
·
Maintain physical distancing if changing ends of
court.
·
Avoid touching the net, fences and gates as much
as possible.
·
If a ball comes onto your court, use your
racquet to send the ball back.
·
Clearly verbalize the score at the start of each
point.
·
After the match, do NOT shake hands—do a racquet
tap, nod, thumbs up or “good match”, then leave the court and go report scores
immediately.

Pick up your balls on court after the match and
return them to the tournament desk.
