ATTENTION ALL SPECTATORS (INCLUDES PARENTS, COACHES, RELATIVES, FRIENDS, ETC.)
In an effort to promote a more enjoyable and fair experience for all, the following policy is in immediate force and effect, and shall be diligently and stringently enforced. USTA Southern California (SCTA) has implemented a “ZERO TOLERANCE” policy for improper behavior.
1. Any attempt by a spectator to speak to an official regarding a line call or other ruling during match play shall be cause for immediate removal from the playing area and, if warranted, from the premises.
2. Any spectator behavior deemed unacceptable towards a player, other spectator or staff member shall be cause for immediate removal from the playing area or the entire premises. If said behavior is directed towards a player, either before, during or after a tournament, it shall result in an automatic and immediate suspension of that spectator’s right to attend USTA Southern California tournaments, for a period of time to be determined by the USTA Southern California Grievance and Sportsmanship Committee.
3. Refusal to adhere to a removal request shall trigger immediate enforcement of the point penalty system against the player with whom the spectator is involved (per point penalty system regulations), including possible immediate default.
4. The On-Site Official is the SOLE judge regarding unacceptable behavior.
Umpire/Spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator. REMOVAL IS NOT SUBJECT TO APPEAL.

The SCTA Junior Competition Committee and all officials of this event would like to inform the players of our expectations of proper attire while competing in this tournament:
GIRLS: No sports bras or compression garments of any kind are to be worn alone; midriff must be covered when arms are at rest, and spandex shorts or capris must be covered by additional shorts or skirt.
BOYS: No cut off t-shirts, or cut off shorts. Sleeveless tennis shirts may be worn. No reference to drugs, violence, alcohol, or foul language may be depicted on player attire.

Seeds are based on "All Factors" method.
USTA REGULATIONS II.A. (Seeding) FAC pg.73.
The All Factors Method of seeding is based on the players’ chances of winning the tournament as determined by
the Tournament Committee. The Tournament Committee shall consider all reasonably available information, including ranking lists,
standing lists, recent records, types of surface, and particularly head-to-head encounters.

Due to Anaheim and the Ojai running concurrently, the SCTA is not giving permission for players to enter in both events. If you show up in both draws, you will receive suspension points AND lose ranking points from BOTH events.

Players are permitted to enter only one (1) junior event. Further, a player entered in a junior event may not enter a Men's or Women's Open Event.

For SCTA points per round ranking purposes, this tournament is a SCTA Level 3 event.
