Game Time (Strictly Non-Office Hours)

If a player knows they can’t make it to a match ahead of time, please contact the tournament director as soon as possible (at least 4 hours in advance) to reschedule the match if possible. Rescheduling would have to fit into the tournament format and not hold up other scheduled matches. We cannot guarantee matches can be rescheduled.

Ties

The team who wins the most matches wins the round-robin group. But what if two teams are tied with the most match victories? According to the U.S. Tennis Association, the winner of their head-to-head match wins. If three or more teams are tied, the referee or tournament director :) ranks players using the following criteria until no ties remain: head-to-head records in matches involving just the tied teams; percentage of sets won among all sets completed; If a tie remains, a random drawing determines the order of finish among remaining tied players.
