Doubles Match Scheduling  Previous Tournament commitments or illness are the primary considerations  in granting late start requests. If a request is due to illness, the player must be  evaluated by the PHCP and Tournament Physician. A request made due to  illness or loss of luggage does not guarantee a player a late start. When a Tournament is televised, the television commitments will be taken  into scheduling consideration. a.  When the singles and doubles finals are to be played on the same day, the  doubles final shall be scheduled approximately two (2) hours prior to the  published start time of the singles final. If the singles final is scheduled  at 12:00 noon tournament local time or earlier, the doubles final may be  played following the singles final.  b.  It is recommended that i) each session (day and night) open with a  doubles match; and ii) a minimum of one (1) doubles match per day be  scheduled on a televised court. If there is only one (1) televised court,  then the match may be played on the next largest court from a seating  capacity standpoint.  c.  The following shall be considered valid exceptions to the doubles  scheduling requirements set forth in sub-Sections a and b above: i)  contractual television obligations; ii) weather or other major scheduling  interruptions; iii) combined event with the ATP World Tour (“ATP”);  iv) security issues; and v) unforeseen circumstances as determined by  the Supervisor.
