A 2012 SIGNIFICANT RULE CHANGE---3-MINUTE REST PERIOD-- Posted 5-10 There is NO need to get an umpire. Juniors receive a mandatory 3-minute rest period after the second set when a match-tiebreak is played in lieu of the third set. Coaching is permitted, but the player must stay on the court. After the 3-minute rest period, no further coaching is allowed. If needed, a bathroom break can be taken after the 3-minute rest period. If a player takes a bathroom break during the 3-minute rest period, the player waives the right to further coaching. No coaching is allowed during the bathroom break...REMEMBER::There is NO need to get an umpire.

ON-SITE ALTERNATES SATURDAY REPORT TIME: Boys by 9:30am, Girls by 11:00am. Report to tournament desk. Also, see below for more information. ON-SITE ALTERNATE PROCEDURES---Posted 5-8 If you an alternate and have not been admitted by late Friday, May 10, then you can be an on-site alternate. Alternates must sign-in at the tournament desk no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate. If a default or withdrawal creates a vacancy in the draw, then the alternate who has signed-in and is highest on the alternate list will fill the vacancy. Alternates may play doubles even if they are not admitted to singles Effective January 1, 2009, the procedure for accepting on-site alternates into the draw was rewritten for clarification as follows: 1. On each day in which alternates may be accepted into a draw, any alternate desiring admittance must check-in and be ready for play no later than 15 minutes prior to the first scheduled match time of the event for which they are an alternate. 2. The order of the alternate list is based on the original Alternate List published by the tournament, not a more recent National Standings List, and not in the order in which the players check in.

Because deadlines rarely work, the doubles deadline has been extended through May 8.

It is your job to find a partner, confirm the partnership, and then let us know via e-mail by May 6(six) at 5:00pm Eastren Time.. 6. FINALLY, only one e-mail per team. Designate that player to be the one with better writing skills. In the subject line type "Doubles and the Age Group". For Example (Doubles, B18). And, do not expect a response.
