🌦️ Weather / Match Format Adjustments

This tournament will be played using both indoor and outdoor courts.

If weather impacts the schedule and outdoor courts cannot be used, match formats for either the main draw or back draw may be modified (for example, short sets to 4 games) in order to stay on schedule and ensure all matches are completed.

If temperatures drop below 50°F, matches will be held indoors only.

Winter Months (January & February):

Tournaments during January and February will be scheduled exclusively indoors, unless we have an unusually warm weekend that allows for outdoor play during the day.

🗂️ Draw Structure & Matches

The draw structure for each event will depend on:

• The number of players signed up for that specific event, and

• The total number of players signed up for the tournament overall.

All players are guaranteed at least two matches in all draw formats, barring any last-minute withdrawals, defaults, or unforeseen circumstances.

Depending on the numbers, events may be run as:

• Round-robin

• Modified feed-in championship

• Feed-in to quarterfinals

• Feed-in to round of 16

ℹ️ Important note on feed-in formats:

The biggest difference between these draw structures is what happens after a loss. In a feed-in to the round of 16, players who lose in the quarterfinals are out of the tournament. In a feed-in to the quarterfinals, players who lose in the quarterfinals will still move into the back draw, which results in an additional match. This is the main difference between the two formats.

🎾 Match Times

Most matches will begin between 8:00–10:00am. However, depending on the size of the draw and how matches progress, some players may start later in the day.

We have had situations in the past where a player’s first match did not begin until the afternoon, so please plan accordingly and be available throughout the day.
