sure that you have the latest information. While the
tournament is in progress, the draws posted online are the official draws.
Therefore, it is especially important to check the posted draws online to
verify times, opponents, etc. after each match. When changes occur, we make
every attempt to contact the affected players. However, sometimes it happens
that we do not have updated contact information or simply cannot reach players
for various reasons. Therefore, please be sure to check for changes on a
regular basis. Partner substitutions will be allowed as long as the Tournament Director is notified before the draw is made, and the substitute partner meets all the conditions for participation in the event in which the substitution is requested.
