2023 SATC WTN Style Mixed Singles Money Event – Timed Matches
July 6-9, 2023
Flight: Players will be divided into different flights based on playing level. We will use the following methods to position players into their flights: 1 World Tennis Number, 2 Tennis Canada Ranking, or 3 Tournament Director Discretion, in that order. This means the top players will be in flight #1, the next pool of players will be in flight #2, and so on down to flight #4.
Draw Format: Each flight will consist of 16 players (or less). The 4 players who make the semifinal in each flight will qualify to move up to the next flight playing on the following day. The semifinal matches (except for Flight #1) will not be played as players simply move up to the next flight. For example, Mike starts on flight 3 on Friday night. Mike makes the semifinal of that flight and qualifies to move up to flight 2 which plays on Saturday.
Dates/Times of Play:
Thursday July 6th – 4-8pm (Flight #4)
Friday July 7th – 4-8pm (Flight #3)
Saturday July 8th – 10am-4pm (Flight #2 + Flight #1)
Sunday July 9th – 10am-2:30pm (Flight #1)
Categories: All players will play in the same category – Mixed Singles. There are no separate categories based on gender or age. However, players will start in different flights based on their playing level.
Minimum Age: 12
Draw capacity: Up to 52 players will compete for up to $1300 in prizemoney. All players have a chance of winning regardless of which flight you begin in.
Entry Fee:
$50 per player
Prizemoney:
Winner: 25% of entry fees
Runner Up: 15% of entry fees

Match Format: All matches will be timed for one hour. Players will play a match first to 10 games (win by 2 games). If the match has not finished after exactly 50 minutes of play, whatever the game score is will be converted to a super tiebreak score. For example, Mike and Jim are at 7 games to 4 (to Mike) after 50 minutes. (The score in that game is 15-30, but this score in the game is ignored). The score is now 7-4 to Mike in a super tiebreak playing first to 10. Whichever player was currently serving serves first in the super tiebreak.
Consolation:
Each player will be guaranteed two matches. Players who lose in the first round of any flight will play a consolation match.
Code Violations:
A player who fails to respect the time limit between points (25 seconds), or on changeovers (90 seconds), is subject to a time violation.
*Players are to report to the tournament desk immediately upon arrival. Once your match is called, please be prepared as the default time rule will be strictly enforced.
