Director's Note
Draws are posted. All are round robin draws. The 14s divisions will play an 8 game Pro Set, NO ADD, with a 12 point tie breaker at 8 all. The 12 division will play a regular set, regular add, 12 point tie breaker at 6 all. Winner will be the person with the best record. In case of a tie, the winner will be the player with the best percentage of games played.
When you arrive, you will need to sign two waivers, one from USTA and one for Covid. I can't provide pens (Covid), so please bring your own. On the back of the Covid form, please list all members of your party and phone numbers (Covid tracing). We will not use scorecards (Covid), so encourage your child to be more adamant about announcing the score. There is no bleacher seating (Covid) and I ask you to not sit within the concreted area, but instead use the ample grassy area to watch. You may wish to bring your own chair.
I plan to set up the desk in the small gazebo next to the larger one with restrooms. This area under the gazebo will be off limits (social distancing) to players and parents.
Thank you so much for participating. I hope the weather holds. As of now there is a 60% chance of rain.
