GETTING STARTED:
- Tournament will start April 1, 2023 BUT (weather permitting) YOU CAN BEGIN EARLIER IF YOU & YOUR OPPONENT AGREE.
NOTE: this is a large tournament with many players. It is DOUBLE ELIMINATION which means there WILL be some glitches so please be patient. I will do my best to move matches along. But if someone holds up the bracketing they will be removed from the tournament.
IMPORTANT: I will be traveling April 6-12 so the reporting and bracketing may be a little delayed, but you will get updates so be patient. If it takes longer to get games in don’t stress!
- This will be DOUBLE ELIMINATION (which will probably take a while with so many players)
- For the first round I have tried to match up players based on location not ability, but it is double elimination so don’t worry if you are playing an advanced player.
- Don’t wait for your opponent to contact you, please reach out to them asap.
- Please be flexible and try to meet at a mutually agreeable location to get the match in on time before the end of the week.

You will have one week to arrange, schedule and play your match. If your opponent continually cancels or you can not agree on location or playing time, please do a GROUP TEXT with me 973-256-8400 so I can see who the hold up is.

“OPEN PLAY” – We realize everyone has a busy life…thus we have created an “Open Play” style tournament. “Open Play” means that for the first several rounds players can play at their will at a mutually agreeable location and time agreed upon by both. (Another words…Play when and where you can within that weeks bracket) The match must be played within the allotted time frame specified for that bracket. (typically one week- but being this is a summer league it may go a little longer because of vacations) depending on the amount of players signed up. Find a list of Public Courts here.
Keep in mind…This is a NORTH JERSEY INTERMEDIATE LEVEL but ANYONE can join but if you are located in South or Central Jersey you MUST travel to North Jersey to play your match.
Playing Levels- This tournament is open INTERMEDIATE LEVEL players only. (Beginners can join if they feel they are ready for stepped up competition) No advanced players please!
(1 or Best of 3 Sets?) – Players are free to play either one set or best of three sets as agreed upon prior to the match starting.
Double Elimination- You have to lose two to get eliminated
