Important Note Regarding Super Champ Doubles Excellence Entry Fee
It has come to our attention that a USTA Texas staff administrative error was made with the entry fee of the Super Champ Doubles Excellence. All players were accidentally charged $55.00. After considerable review, we have determined that the entry fee should have been $40.00 per player. In order to correct this mistake, the $15.00 entry fee difference will be available for refund.
To request an individual $15.00 refund check please email Melissa Chambers at chambers@texas.usta.com with the player’s full name, age division, parent full name and mailing address by Friday, January 17, 2014. Alternatively, if you do not respond via email the $15.00 difference will be automatically donated to the Texas Tennis and Education Foundation. The Texas Tennis and Education Foundation provides assistance to needy Texas tennis players and organizations. We sincerely apologize for this error and inconvenience.
|
FORMAT FOR DOUBLES EXCELLENCE
All matches for the 2014 Doubles Excellence tournament will play 2 full sets with a 10-pt. tie-break in lieu of the third and final set. A 3 minute rest period will be allowed between the completion of the 2nd set and the beginning of the 3rd set deciding match tie-break. Coaching is allowed off court nearest the playing area to ensure players return to their courts in a timely manner.

IMPORTANT DRAW INFORMATION
PARENTS, PLAYERS, AND COACHES; Be aware that there will be changes to the
draws due to withdrawals, especially in draws where withdrawals mean players may move up from the B draw to an A draw. The deadline for such changes is this Thursday at 6pm.
Once this deadline has passed, all such draw changes will be updated by the TD and posted no later than Friday 8am. RE-CHECK YOUR DRAWS OFTEN UP TO TOURNAMENT START. Withdrawals after Thursday 6:00 p.m. will show as a withdrawal on the same draw with no further movement from draw to draw.

WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER
In the event the tournament experiences inclement weather please follow these helpful instructions. For the most up-to-the minute tournament messages, follow me on TWITTER at http://twitter.com/catadirector. In addition, I routinely (every 1 to 1 1/2 hours) update this website with details about weather delays, and when play is anticipated to resume. If you do not have internet access readily available to you, your hotels generally do in their business centers. Please use their internet services to access our tournament homepage for updates. This will help you know when to return to your site for match play and help the tournament run more smoothly by reducing unnecessary phone calls. You may also call the CATA office for updates at 512 443-1342. Our office voice mail will have updates for you as well. However, this is more difficult to stay on top of so your most up-to-date info can be found FIRST via twitter and secondly via the use of our tourney homepage.
