CONSOLATION INFORMATION
For all singles divisions, we will use the following consolation: Due to the size of the draws in the boys 12's, girls 12's and girls 14's, we are able to run a regular feed-in quarters consolation which means that the quarterfinal losers will feed-in to the normal consolation bracket. For the boys 14's, we will use the standard Southern Level 2 consolation format which is the Curtis consolation. Doubles remains a single elimination with a 3/4 playoff. Please email chipstearns@hotmail.com with any questions.
