WHEN
IS IT? This tournament is scheduled for the end of July or the
beginning of August, so as not to conflict with club swimming events.
The date for 2010 has not yet been selected.
WHO
IS IT FOR? The
tournament is open to youth players, male or female, of alll levels, who
can serve and keep score. This includes experienced high school players,
and players who graduated the past spring. Players are placed in brackets
with other players of similar ability level, to ensure good competition.
EVENTS: Singles,
Doubles, or both. Girls and boys might be assigned to the same bracket.
A boy and girl may sign up for doubles together. However, no separate
Mixed Doubles event is provided unless there are enough entries.
MATCH
FORMAT: This
will depend on the number of players in each bracket. Normally, the first
round consists of at least three shorter matches (10 game pro sets, for
example) followed by a final round that is 2/3 sets.
TROPHIES: Due
to the high cost of providing so many matches, there are no trophies for
this event.
POOL
PRIVILEGES: Available the entire weekend for players and immediate
family members.
REGISTRATION
PROCEDURE: To register, a hard copy of your registration form
plus fee must be received no later than 9PM on the Wednesday prior to
tournament. If not in mail by Monday, hand delivery is strongly recommended.
Draw will be made sometime after 9PM on Wednesday, at which point no new
entries will be allowed. Partipants will be called by Friday evening with
their start times.
