​RULES FOR CLUB TOURNAMENTS
Player availability helps make the tournament run smoother and on time.

  1. Unless otherwise stated by the Director, the tournament match starting time is 5:15 pm. There will be a 30-minute grace period before default. Participants may play before the allotted time by mutual agreement.
  2. Tournament matches are normally scheduled Monday through Friday, though players/teams are encouraged to play tournament matches on weekends if all players are available. Otherwise, Friday-scheduled matches must be played by Monday evening. For all matches leading up to and including the semi-finals, players/teams should expect to be available to play on consecutive days. However, if a player/team cannot play on the scheduled day, they have 48 hours to play their match. Tournament final matches should be played within two weeks of the scheduled semifinal date. If a match is not completed within the allotted time, one or both players/teams may be defaulted, depending on the circumstances. Tennis Committee does not consider any of the following to be legitimate reasons for postponing a scheduled match:
    • That a player has a practice hit or match already scheduled
    • That a player has a scheduled match in a non-Idle Hour event such as a USTA league match or USTA tournament match
    • That a player has vacation-related or other social plans
  3. All matches are governed by USTA codes of conduct.
  4. All matches are regular-scoring and two out of three full sets unless both players agree to a 10-point match tiebreaker in lieu of a full third set.
  5. Semi-final and final matches should be played on front courts that are close to the porch so that other club members may watch.
  6. Participants supply balls for the match with the losing player/team giving their balls to the winners for the next match. The club supplies the balls for the finals.
  7. Court priority will be given to tournament play.
  8. Winners, please record the match score neatly on the draw sheet. 
  9. Refer all questions to the Tournament Director.
