NOTE: Courts 28, 29, 36, 37, 44, 45 & 46 will NOT be used for competition and are available for warm-up at any time on a first-come basis.

POINT PENALTY SYSTEM: GHSA team matches are played using the USTA Point Penalty System, which consists of the following: First Offense - Loss of Point; Second Offense - Loss of Game; Third Offense - Default. Also be aware that a single flagrant unsportsmanlike act may be penalized by defaulting the player immediately! ROVING OFFICIALS: We will utilize Roving Officials, whose authority includes, but is not limited to, overruling line calls and calling foot faults when in direct observation of the court, resolving scoring disputes, interpreting USTA rules and controlling spectators. RAIN OUTS: We will attempt to play as many matches as possible even if we face bad weather. Any matches rained out will revert to the highest-seeded team's home courts on Monday or Tuesday (if teams are same seeds, the universal coin toss used for the quarters and semis will control).
