Each player will receive a 25 minute assigned practice court with their doubles partner, on half of a court. Courts will be assigned the evening prior on the tournament homepage.

Saturday will have designated indoor warm up courts in two waves, free of charge, from 7-7:25a and 7:25-7:50a. Sunday will have designated indoor warm up courts free of charge from 7-7:50a. Monday warm-up courts will be assigned from 7-7:50a.

Indoor practice courts will be available prior to Saturday at a junior rate of $28/hr. How to book practice courts will be released 1 week prior to the start of the event. Hitting partners will be available by request. More info coming soon.

Singles: Best 2 of 3 tiebreak sets with a Match Tiebreak in lieu of a 3rd set, regular scoring.


The singles draw is a full feed-in through the round of 16. Consolation is mandatory and will be played to completion.

Doubles: 8-game pro set with a tiebreak at 8-games all, no-ad scoring.


Doubles draw is single elimination with a playoff for 3rd/4th place.

All players in the draw are assumed to be playing doubles and will be paired up as advised.

If you are planning to play singles only, kindly send an email to tournament staff. We do our best to update doubles partners on the homepage as timely as possible. With often several requests per day, we appreciate your patience in updating partners online.

Due to data privacy, we do not release other player's contact information when requested. We will consistently try to put interested partners in touch, withdrawals and partner changes make this a moving puzzle. Please know that we will pair everyone playing doubles with someone else if possible and will not make that draw until after the mandatory players meeting and check in. In case of an odd number, we would hope there would be an on-site alternate to fill that spot.

Please contact Dana Young at danayoung11@gmail.com to arrange a hitting lesson. More information will be coming soon on specifics.

Due to the close proximity of the Baseline Tennis Center to 4 major athletic venues, parking may be at event rates (up to $10.00/car) with no in/out privileges.
