RAIN POLICY: All participants should report to their tournament site on the designated play date 15 minutes before the

the Tournament Director determines that a match may be played on the VTC indoor courts due to weather, all players must
agree to the move. Players will be responsible for any court fees incurred. AAACTA will pay for indoor court fees for final
events that must be moved inside.
TENNIS BALLS: Each player/team provides a new can of USTA approved balls for each match. Winner takes the new can,
loser takes the used can.
DRAWS: Draws will be posted on www.aaacta.org at least 24 hours in advance of the start of play. Divisions with small
draws may be combined with others. To avoid conflicts with USTA schedules, 3.5 level singles matches will not be
scheduled on Thursday evening. If the 3.5 draw requires early first rounds, they will be played on Wednesday, June 24th, with
second rounds on Friday, June 26th.
LEVELS OF PLAY: Events are divided into levels according to NTRP rating levels. Details of the criteria for each level are
provided at www.aaacta.org. Doubles events are combined ratings of the participants. Round up if necessary, for example,
3.5 + 4.0 = 8.0. Century level requires the combined ages of participants to be at least 100.
