  • The approximate playing times will be on the Draw sheets and communicated by the Clubhouse. A match will be forfeited if a player is not present 5 minutes after the assigned start time.
  • Expect to play more than one match. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your start times.
  • Matches will be pre-scheduled, however the Tournament Manager may choose to re-assign matches. This should allow us to complete the Tournament in a timely fashion. Please report scores to the Clubhouse promptly upon completion.
  • Warm up will be a maximum of 5 minutes. Initially, all matches will be Pro 8 (first to win 8 games) with a 7-point tiebreaker at 7-7 or 55 minutes of play, whichever comes first. Switch sides on odd total games. In the event of a weather interruption, play must start from the last point played.
  • Final matches for Under 16 events will be best 2 out of 3 sets with a 7-point tiebreaker at 6-6.
  • No coaching or outside interference is allowed once the match has begun. If this occurs, the non-coached player has the right to immediately take the game (current game only) as his/her game.
  • Each participant will need to bring a can of balls to their match and the winner will receive the unopened can. Balls will be provided for semi-finals and final only.
  • Please call lines fairly and give the benefit of doubt to your opponent. Please follow the Tennis Canada’s “Rules of the Court”. The Tournament Manager will make a decision in the case of a disagreement.

ENJOY THE TOURNAMENT!!!
