The round of 16 tees off Saturday morning followed by the quarter-finals that afternoon. Sunday, the semi-finals are in the morning and the finals in the afternoon.
The 2013 field features two past Amateur Match Play Champions including the 2011 Champion Don Bell, from Port Orange, and the 2001 Champion Joe Alfieri, of Lutz.
