Tournament Information
This is a single elimination tournament. Registration deadline is August 30. Registration instructions are on the main home page of this site.

All players must provide one NEW can of tennis balls at their first contest. ONE can is used for the match. The winner takes the unused/unopened can to the next round. Loser may keep the used can. NO TENNIS BALLS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE TENNIS COURTS. You must obtain them in advance.

Tournament Rules
1. All matches will be scheduled for the Skytop Tennis courts on South Campus (right next door to the Tennity Ice Skating Pavilion). You may, at the agreememt of your opponent, and after contacting the office, reschedule to other courts (ie the Women's Building, or even Drumlins' indoor courts. Use of them is free to SU. undergrads from 8:30 pm-12:30 am Wednesdays-Saturdays. Call 446-2323 to reserve court time.) if you wish. We will, however, make no arrangements to reserve those courts, and you MUST play each match in time for the winner to advance to their next-round game. The tournament will not be held up for individuals who reschedule matches.
2. All matches are 2 out of 3 sets. The first player to win 6 games wins the set. The 7 pt tie-breaker rule is in effect for the 3rd set.
3. You are the judge of your own court. Honesty in your calls is expected.
4. Report to the Tennis Pavilion (small white wooden structure near the courts) by the scheduled match time with your suid card. There will be someone present to check you in and match you with your opponent. After the match, the winner must e-mail the results to suintramurals@hotmail.com with the words Tennis Scores in the subject line. The posted schedule will be up-dated with the winner's name and match score when results are posted.
5. Each player should bring one NEW can of tennis balls to each match. Open ONLY ONE can for the match. The loser keeps the used can. The winner takes the unused can to the next round.
6. Players may, at the agreement of their opponent, reschedule a match. If no agreement can be reached to get a match played in time for the NEXT ROUND to be played on schedule, the original match time stands. Players wishing a reschedule should first contact the opponent (all players e-mail and phone information is listed under "Teams" to the left), then if they agree, BOTH players must e-mail their agreement to suintramurals@hotmail.com with the words "Tennis Reschedule" in the subject line. Again, reschedules MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED START TIME OF THE NEXT ROUND!!! Hint: it is often easier to move up a game than to postpone it. If you can't make a 5:00 Monday game, try rescheduling to some time over the weekend. If you push the game until Tuesday, and it rains on Tuesday, you would then have to determine a winner by start time on Wednesday or neither player advances. The tournament will not be held up for player-initiated reschedules.).
7. In the event of rain, the official reschedule time is the same time the scheduled play day. Succeeding rounds will then be postponed one day.
