We will be having an opening ceremony with a US Marine Corps ceremony and National Anthem directly after the sign in on Saturday at 5 pm followed by a group picture and a free barbeque for all of the players. There will be a $10 fee for parents and coaches for the bbq. The group picture will be available for pickup on Sunday, free of charge.

All player's must check in on Saturday, August 4th between 1-5 pm. Doubles sign-in will also be at this time. YOU DO NOT NEED TO CALL AND REGISTER FOR DOUBLES AHEAD OF TIME UNLESS YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SIGN IN. Please email tournament director Steve Bickham with any questions. sbickham@ytsd.org

PLEASE NOTE: All players who want to sign in as an on site alternate for singles must be endorsed by your sectional office. If you were not endorsed at the time of selection, please check with your sectional endorser to see if you can be endorsed as an alternate. Have your sectional office email the tournament director if it is agreed upon.

A few players have been relocated in the Draw to comply with USTA rules. Please check the Draw to be sure that your match time/opponent hasn't changed. Call 619 857 4372 for an explanation.

If you have a green dot next to your name on the competitors list or alternate list...that means you are not endorsed to play this event and will not be accepted even if your ranking is high enough to get in. You must contact your sectional office as there is nothing the tournament director can do about this.
