MULTIPLE ENTRIES AND SELECTION PROCESS:
Multiple Entries: Players Have TWO
Options
Players Choose ONE of the Following
Options, but NOT Both:
·
OPTION
1: Enter any ONE Division of TWO
Concurrent USTA National Level 3 Tournaments (this may be a different division
in each tournament); OR
·
OPTION
2: Enter TWO Divisions of ONE USTA
National Level 3 Tournament
Players may
PLAY in only ONE division of ONE tournament.
OPTION 1: ONE Division of TWO Concurrent Tournaments
·
A
player seeking to enter two concurrent USTA National Level 3 Tournament must
get permission to enter as set forth in USTA Regulation IV.C.12. This requires a player to request and receive
the written permission of both Tournament Committees for the concurrent entry
by the time entries close.
·
Tournament
Committees shall be required to grant permission for concurrent entry when a
request is made; however these requests are required - a Tournament Committee
may not post a blanket permission for concurrent entry.
·
Tournament
Committees will publish the selection and alternate lists no later than 2 days
after entries close.
·
A
player accepted into both tournaments shall be required to notify the
tournaments no later than 5 days after entries close as to which tournament
they will be playing and the player shall be refunded their entry fee (but not
the TennisLink administrative fee).
Failure to withdraw by the deadline absolves the tournament from which
the player is withdrawing from their obligation to refund the entry fee and
will result in the assessment of 4 suspension points for withdrawing for reason
other than injury, illness, or personal circumstance.
·
As
a courtesy, a player that is accepted into one tournament and not the other(s)
should remove themselves from the alternate list of the other tournament(s) no
later than 5 days after entries close.
Failure to do so will not result in a penalty.
·
If
a player has not been accepted into any tournament, they may remain on the
alternate lists of all tournaments, but upon acceptance into one, they may not
withdraw from that tournament to play in another.
·
Under
no circumstances may a player after being accepted into one concurrent
tournament withdraw and play in another.
Doing so shall result in the assessment of 4 suspension points for
withdrawing for reason other than injury, illness, or personal circumstance.
Option 2 Procedure: TWO Divisions of
ONE Tournament
·
When
a USTA National Level 3 Tournament includes more than one age division, a
player may enter up to two age divisions of that tournament.
·
The
Tournament Committee shall select players who have entered two divisions in
descending age division order: 18; 16; 14; and 12. If a player is entered in two age divisions
of a USTA National Level 3 Tournament and is selected into the older division,
that player shall not be eligible for selection into the younger division, even
if there are openings in the draw at the time of selection or thereafter. If a
player is not selected for the older division, that player is eligible for
selection in the younger division and is eligible to be an alternate in the
younger division but not in the older division.
Selection Process
·
Selection: Players are accepted into a USTA
National Level 3 Tournament using the most recently published National
Standings List as of the date entries close.
·
Alternates: Alternates are ordered using the
same National Standings List used to select players into the tournament. Players with no National Standing are ordered
after players with standing by random drawing.
Late entries are placed on the bottom of the alternate list in the order
received. Late entries received at the
same time are ordered randomly.

WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS
It is a player’s responsibility to immediately take action to
withdraw from the tournament should circumstances arise which would not enable
a player to compete. Good sportsmanship and the USTA Regulations dictate that a
player should never:
• enter a tournament they do not intend to finish
• withdraw from a tournament after entries close unless it is for injury,
illness, or personal circumstance
• enter two or more concurrent tournaments without prior written approval from
each Tournament Committee
WITHDRAWING
FROM A TOURNAMENT:
• Prior to Entry Deadline: If entries have not yet closed, a
player may withdraw by going to the tournament’s USTA TennisLink Home Page -
the same web page that the player registered for the tournament. Once in the
system, click on the "Register Now" text in red. When taken to the
next page, click on "Withdraw" on the left hand side of the screen.
You will need your confirmation number from your original registration to
withdraw. Because your credit card will not be charged prior to the entry
deadline, no refund needs to be made. If you cannot locate your confirmation
number, contact linkteam@usta.com.
• Previously
Authorized Entries into Concurrent Tournaments: If a player has previously received
written approval to enter concurrent tournaments from each Tournament
Committee, the player must immediately notify the Tournament Director and/or
Referee to let them know which tournament the player has chosen to play.
• After Entry
Deadline: Immediately
contact the tournament if to withdraw from the tournament - telephone numbers
and email addresses of the Tournament Director and/or Referee will be posted on
the tournament’s USTA TennisLink Home Page. Players must also fulfill the
written verification requirements described below if the withdrawal is for
injury, illness, or personal circumstance and the player wants to avoid being
levied USTA Suspension Points.
ENTRY FEE REFUND:
• Player is Not
Accepted Into Tournament: If a player has previously paid an
entry fee and is not accepted into the tournament, the player is entitled to a
refund. Generally, in USTA National Junior Tournaments, no player is
charged an entry fee until tournament selection is done and the acceptance list
is published to the tournament website. The TennisLink processing fee
paid in addition to the entry fee is not refundable.
• Previously
Authorized Entries into Concurrent Tournaments: If a player has previously received
written authority to enter concurrent tournaments from each Tournament
Committee, the player is entitled to a refund from the tournament(s) that will
not be played. The TennisLink processing fee paid in addition to the
entry fee is not refundable.
• Other
Withdrawal After the Entry Deadline: Players who withdraw after the entry
deadline for any reason other than a previously autorized entry into concurrent
tournaments are not entitled to a refund.
USTA
SUSPENSION POINTS:
Any withdrawal (other than for previously authorized entry into concurrent
tournaments) that does not meet the written verification requirements described
below by the last scheduled day of the tournament (and, in the case of personal
circumstances, has also been approved as a personal circumstance by the
Referee) will result in the player being levied suspension points and any match
that is not played will be coded as a Default.
WRITTEN
VERIFICATION REQUIREMENT FOR WITHDRAWALS DUE TO INJURY, ILLNESS OR PERSONAL
CIRCUMSTANCE:
• Illness or
Injury: The
required written verification of an injury or illness must be from a medical
professional and must be received by the tournament no later than the last
scheduled day of the tournament.
• Personal
Circumstance: If
the player is withdrawing because of a personal circumstance, the player must
deliver a written description of the situation no later than the last scheduled
day of the tournament and the Referee will determine whether the situation is a
personal circumstance.
