ENTERING TWO DIVISIONS



The USTA Regulations prohibit a player from being entered, when entries close, in two or more tournaments if any part of the tournaments overlap, unless each Tournament Committee understands the situation and concurs in writing. There are exceptions to this rule on the national junior level.

The USTA National Championships, USTA National Sweet Sixteen, USTA National Selection Tournaments, Closed USTA Regional Tournaments, and Open USTA Regional Tournaments permit a player to enter more than one age division.
However, it is important to understand the consequences of this decision.

If you want to play in one of these tournaments, but are unsure if you will get in, you may enter up to two different age divisions. When selection is done, players are selected for the oldest age division first. *
If you are selected into the older age division entered, you will not be selected into the younger age division. *
If you are not selected into the older age division, you will only be considered for selection into the younger division and you will only be eligible to be an alternate in the younger division.

ENTERING CONCURRENT TOURNAMENTS



Several times each year, the USTA has sanctioned national tournaments with different National Ranking Levels at the same time and players are permitted to enter both tournaments. If you want to play in one of these tournaments, but are unsure if you will get in, you may enter up to two different tournaments (in addition to up to two divisions that is described above).

These tournaments and the maximum number of entries are as follows:

February: USTA National Selection Tournaments (Level 2) and Closed USTA Regional Tournaments (Level 4)
Entries are permitted in up to two divisions of up to four sites of USTA National Selection Tournaments AND up to two divisions of the Closed USTA Regional Tournament to which your Section has been assigned.

May: USTA National Sweet Sixteen (Level 1A) and USTA National Selection Tournaments (Level 3)
Entries are permitted in up to two divisions of the USTA National Sweet Sixteen AND up to two divisions of up to four sites of USTA National Selection Tournaments.

October: USTA National Selection Tournaments (Level 2) and Closed USTA Regional Tournaments (Level 4)
Entries are permitted in up to two divisions of up to four sites of USTA National Selection Tournaments AND up to two divisions of the Closed USTA Regional Tournament to which your Section has been assigned.

November: USTA National Selection Tournaments (Level 2) and Open USTA Regional Tournaments (Level 4)
Entries are permitted in up to two divisions of up to four sites of USTA National Selection Tournaments AND up to two divisions of up to four sites of Open USTA Regional Tournaments.

When selection is done, players are selected for the highest level of tournament first (for example when a National Selection and Regional are held at the same time, the selection is first done for the National Selection tournament). *
If you are selected into the higher level concurrent tournament, you will not be selected into the lower level concurrent tournament. *
If you are not selected into the higher level concurrent tournament, you are eligible for selection into the lower level concurrent tournament AND are eligible to be on the alternate lists of both the higher and lower level tournaments.
Because the process permits players to appear on an acceptance list and multiple alternate lists at the same time, players will have a limited amount of time - until the Freeze Deadline to decide on what list they want to remain.
