IMPORTANT COACHES NOTE:

In order to ensure that all teams get equal play, all matches begin promptly at the top of the hour and end 10 minutes before the hour. We have another tournament scheduled to begin one hour after the conclusion of this tournament, so maintaining the schedule is critical to allow all of our athletes an equal opportunity to play.

· Matches will be 2 out of 3.

· In the event that the match is not concluded when time expires, the team that is ahead in that set will be considered the winner of that set. In the event of this happening and if that makes the sets tied at 1-1, then we will revert to total score to determine the winner of that match.

· Please be prompt in getting your line-ups into the table between matches so we maximize our play time.

· Please have your team exit the court IMMEDIATELY at the conclusion of your match to allow the teams competing in the next match to take the court and warm up.

· Please have your teams ready to warm up IMMEDIATELY after the conclusion of the previous match as your warm up period will begin immediately.

· If you are the refereeing team of the match following your match, please have your team prepared to take on that responsibility IMMEDIATELY.

· We don't want anyone to feel rushed, we are just trying to give as many teams an opportunity to play as much as possible in this strange environment we are in.

· Thank you for understanding and helping us have a great afternoon!

· There will be no coaches meeting. Please have a representative bring a signed roster to the site director desk by 1:00 pm (upon entry)
