SERIOUS STUFF:
VOLUNTEERS: Like sponsors, these events wouldn't be possible without our awesome volunteers! To be a part of the fun, please contact the tournament director. We will need help with: court monitoring, water and ice replenishment, court sweeping, trash containment, food distribution and beer service. PLEASE consider helping out. Volunteers will receive a special gift for their participation!
HYDRATION: We want everyone to have a lot of fun and be safe and healthy. So please, hydrate and avoid heat related injuries! Pedialyte and water provide excellent benefits, beer and wine do not!
LOCATION: All matches will be played at Topspin Racquet & Swim Club located at 5347 Sunset Boulevard, Lexington, SC 29072. Topspin has 12 clay courts and 2 hard courts. We will only utilize hard courts if necessary. Senior level draws will NOT be played on hard courts. If entries and/or weather requires it, we will utilize the courts at Rawls Creek Tennis Club as a back-up.
REGISTRATION: Even if your partner has already registered and paid, you need to register yourself! You will need your partners USTA# to register. It is important each players registers so that we have contact info for ALL players. You may play a maximum of two events.
LATE ENTRIES: No late entries will be allowed. All players must be registered, and entry fees paid by the close of registration. If you registered your partner and did not pay their fee, they need to register themselves and pay by the deadline or both players will be removed from the draw.
AVOIDANCES: Due to scheduling challenges, avoidances will be limited. Out of town players may request scheduling accommodations but must contact the tournament referee or director immediately after registering. No scheduling changes will be made after the draws are completed.
MATCH PLAY FORMAT: Best two out of three sets with a match tie-breaker being played in lieu of a full third set will be used for all matches in the main draw and consolation rounds. The Coman tiebreak will be used. We are offering a Modified Feed-In Consolation format. This guarantees everyone two (2) matches. Please be sure to check draws for possible additional match play.
SEEDING: Seeding will be done using only SC and Southern Tournament rankings for adults. The "All Factors" method will be used for any division which does not have rankings available.
