Players must be available Thursday and/or Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Requests for exemptions based on legitimate excuses may be considered by the tournament committee.
Even though three events are allowed, players are encouraged to enter no more than two events due to scheduling conflicts and the heat at this time of year. Players who enter three events should have no conflicts in scheduling.
Each division should have at least four entries. The tournament committee will consider round robins or combining divisions to facilitate the draw.
The committee reserves the right to cancel divisions, place players in appropriate divisions or exclude players from the tournament.
First- and second-place finishers receive awards.
Players should check in with tournament officials at least 15 minutes prior to play.
USTA Tournament rules will govern play.
Each entrant supplies a new can of USTA balls for each match. Winners keep the unopened balls.
