Tournament Details:

Players are entered into a single-elimination singles bracket. Players are expected to know how to serve and keep score prior to registration.

  1. Pick up tournament balls/scorekeeper

    Players will pick up the tournament balls from the coordinator at the designated pick-up time (sent via email). The 12U (Green) tournament uses green balls, while all other tournaments use standard yellow balls. Players will use these balls the remainder of the tournament and will get to keep them. Scorekeepers will also be provided, but must be returned.

  2. Reach out to your opponent

    Players reach out to their opponent to complete their scheduled match for the week at an agreed upon location. Matches are to be played in Santa Clarita, CA or El Cariso Community Regional Park in Sylmar, CA. Players must play their match within the dates of their respective round (Ex: Round 1 must be played b/w October 6th and October 13th).

  3. Tennis scoring and details

    First player to 10 games wins, regular tennis scoring (with ads).

    • You need to win 4 points to win a game. The point score goes: 0 (or 'love'), 15 (1st point), 30 (2nd point), 40 (3rd point), game (4th point). However, if the score is tied 40-40 (also called 'deuce'), a player must win the next 2 points to win the game. If the server wins the 1st point, it is Ad-in, and he needs one more to win the game; if the opponent wins the first point, it is Ad-out, and he needs one more to win the game. When a player fails to win two points in a row, it goes back to Deuce.

    • If games are tied 9–9, a player must win by 2 games (e.g. 11–9; 13–11, etc.).

    • Players will alternate serving after each game and get 2 serves per point.

    • Players switch sides (taking short breaks and updating the scorekeeper) after the 1st game and every 2 games afterwards (e.g. 1-0, 2-1, 4-1, etc.).

  4. Winner reports score

    Winner reports score by date shown on bracket and prepares for the next match the following week.

*A minimum of 4 players is required to run the tournament. If the tournament does not reach the minimum by the start date, registered players will automatically be refunded.
