UNDERSTANDING THE SCHEDULE

The times listed on the tournament schedule will be an estimate only - competition is unpredictable, therefore some matches will be short (on time) while others may go longer than expected. 

  • Each match will begin approximately 10 minutes following the conclusion of the previously scheduled match.

    • For example, if a team has a scheduled match time of 4:45 PM and the previous match on the court ends at 4:20 PM, then the 4:45 PM match will start at 4:30 PM.  Likewise, if the previous match ends at 4:55 PM, then the 4:45 PM match will start at 5:05 PM .

  • All players should remain on campus until the conclusion of their last match to avoid any forfeits related to an earlier start.

  • Please check with your coach before leaving campus for any reason.
