NOTE: For all one-day JUNIORS tournaments on our schedule, we will assign teams out to the sites in 4-team pool increments. Most tournaments will have all 4-team pools and will play the normal 4-team pool format below. Depending on the total number of entries in an age group, some sites may have a mixture of 3-team pools and 4-team pools. There is also a special format for 6 teams only in a tournament (below). In limited cases and with prior approval, we "may" have a 5-team pool if we have 5 teams left over after all sites have been assigned and can put them together into a 2 court site. In that case, they would play a full round-robin schedule with the amendments listed below. If a LUNCH break is mentioned, then it is REQUIRED!
