In keeping with NCAA protocols, the remainder of this memo will assume that members of the media, sports information directors, team videographers and team photographers will assume social-distancing guidelines and wear proper masks for all events related to the 2021 NCAA First and Second Round tournaments.

OUTSIDE MEDIA ACCESS
Please have any outside media that want to attend and cover the NCAA First and Second Rounds send an email request to Max_Calderone at baylor.edu<mailto:Max_Calderone at baylor.edu> by Thursday, May 6. This includes any SIDs, team photographers or team videographers not included in the programs’ travel party.

Television cameras or outside photographers may shoot on the east side for all matches played on the Grandstand Courts. The Riverside Courts will be used for warm-ups and team practices; no matches will be played on the Riverside Courts.

Credential pickup for outside media will be located at the participant check-in inside the lobby of the Hurd Tennis Center building.

Work space will be available under the media tent located above Court 1.

INTERNAL MEDIA ACCESS
All sports information directors, team photographers and videographers – regardless if they are in the team’s travel party – may have access to the court if they have produced a negative PCR COVID-19 test within one week of the final day of competition, or proof of exemption from eligibility due to a positive test within 90 days of competition or proof of being fully vaccinated. Women’s first and second rounds will run May 7-8, while the men’s first and second rounds will take place May 8-9.

SIDs please provide a list of internal attendees and those members will receive a holographic sticker on their respective credential to indicate court access.

Credentials for internal media will be delivered with the team-participant credentials provided to each participating institution.

EXCEPTION: In the event of inclement weather where matches will be played at the Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center, no media members will be allowed on the court. However, all credentialed members of the media will be allowed to shoot and cover the event in the spectator area as no fans, including pass-list members, will be allowed to attend indoor matches.

POST-MATCH MEDIA
The SID of participating institutions is responsible for post-match media coverage of their respective teams. Space inside the foyer of the Hurd Tennis Center building may be available upon request to conduct Zoom interviews. We ask that no in-person interviews be conducted on the premises, unless it is with an internal media member with a holographic sticker.

LIVE STATS / LIVE VIDEO
It is Baylor’s intention to provide live stats coverage for all matches. Live video streams will be available for any matches played on the Grandstand Courts of the Hurd Tennis Center as well as at the Hawkins Indoor in the event of inclement weather.
