You must fax or email your withdrawal. DO NOT call to withdraw. The email to armsracquetshop@yahoo.com. No refunds available. Defaulting during the tournament You must see the trainer and get approval from the Head Referee at the Midland College Tennis Center. Do not tell anyone at the desk and think you have properly defaulted. Unless you speak to the Head Refeee in person, it will be counted as a "No Show." We will not accept any withdrawals over the phone.

RULE FOR MATCH CHECK IN: Regulation IV.A.2 now states "The referee may penalize a player who is on site for lateness if a court is available and the player has failed to check in at the tournament desk by the scheduled match time." THIS MEANS, IF THERE IS 1 OPEN COURT AT 10:00 AND THERE ARE 3 MATCHES TO PUT ON THE REFEREE WILL START THE CLOCK FOR LATENESS FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT CHECKED IN FOR 10:00 - EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH COURTS FOR ALL 3 MATCHES. 1. The first matches of each day will report directly to the tournament desk at 7:45. Matches should begin promptly at 8:00 a.m.. 2. For all matches after 8:00, please get in a single-file line at the tournament desk at least 15 minutes before your scheduled match time. Do not wait until 9:59 to check in for 10:00. Please go to the bathroom, fill your water bottle, etc. before you check in. 3. Once you have checked in, please stay near the tournament desk until we tell you the court assignment. You must be where you can hear us call your name after you check in. 4. We will be watching the clock for lateness. Please do not ask us if your opponent has checked in - you have other things to think about. The staff and the Referee will take care of lateness issues you need only worry about your own timeliness.

Mandatory means just that. We are 3:00pm staying until 10:00 pm for your convenience. We feel strongly that you should be able to make it by that time, for no other reason than your children need proper rest. For those of you that "just can't make it by that time" need to do the following: 1. Make sure your entry fee has been paid by Friday night - check the Tournament Entry Fee Report 2. Fax in your Medical Release Waiver WITH CELL PHONE NUMBER AND HOTEL INFO to 432-694-1185 3. Show up 30 minutes before your match time if you are playing at the Midland College Tennis Center. If you are playing at another site, you will have to check in at the Midland College Tennis Center before you go to the other site. Please be patient with us when checking in, we will be focused on getting matches on and off the court. Checking in people at this time will be a detriment to the tournament. On Saturday we will only have one person checking in players for the tournament (those that did not come the night before). Obviously this is not enough to check in everyone 30 minutes before their matchtimes. If you are not on your court by your assigned match time, you will be penalized. Because you did not check-in the night before, is no excuse for being late for your match. We cannot predict if there will be 5 people or 50 people waiting to check in when you do. You cannot play your match until you have checked in for the tournament. If there is a line that causes you to be late for your match, unfortunately that will be your problem that could have been avoided. Therefore, we urge all of you to check-in on Friday this includes Locals, Commuters and Travelers. We will be here until 10:00 pm on Friday. Thank you for your cooperation.

We have invited professional tennis photographers, Lloyd and Melissa Clayton of YourGameFace.com, to provide action photos for the tournament. Don't miss this opportunity to commemorate this season of your player's game with a one-of-a-kind Action Poster or Fine Art Portrait. They will be shooting by appointment, so sign up early. See them at registration, and at the main site photo booth. Questions??? ---Call 214-543-5437 ---YourGameFace.com
