Format:
This is a one day event and is non elimination. This events earns Level 7 ranking points. Each draw will be a compass draw or round robin (depending on number of entries.) Players must be prepared to play at any time during the time of the sanction period which, in this tournament, is any time during the day of May 18. Given the number of matches and number of courts available it is possible first matches for some will not go on until 5:00 p.m.  We cannot know when first round match times will be scheduled until entries close and the number of matches per division is known for this event. 

TOURNAMENT LEVEL: Level 7. This tournament is for players who have some tournament/match play experience. The tournament is a compass draw or round robin, which means that every player will play 2-4 matches, whether they win or lose their matches.  Players who are unable to commit to playing all day Saturday should not enter, since the draws require that all players remain in the draw. We will make every attempt to give players at least 2 matches, but we cannot guarantee this, since players may withdraw.

MATCH TIMES:   Divisions will play in “blocks” meaning a division that starts at 8:00 will play subsequent matches one after the other until all matches are completed.  NOT ALL DIVISIONS WILL START AT THE SAME TIME. The next group of divisions will play in the next blocked period throughout the day.  Therefore, some divisions will start their block later in the day. Players are responsible for checking the tournament website for their draw, match time and schedule.  The tournament will not email players their match times. Draws can be found on the tournament website under the “draws” tab.  Find your gender/age division (event) and look to see if there are multiple groups in the drop down for your event.  You will need to look for your name and the match time prior to the start of the tournament. There could be 2, 3 or more draws in each division depending on entries.
