Doubles Registration
The Doubles Registration process will remain the same for 2016 Super Champ Designated Tournaments. Players may register with or without a partner. Those who register with a partner must indicate their partner through the online registration system before the entry deadline. Players will need to correctly identify their doubles partner during their initial registration process or they may go back later, prior to the entry deadline, and “Edit Registration” to indicate their partner of choice. Correct doubles registration is the player’s responsibility. Immediately after registration, players need to check the Applicant List to ensure they are registered with their partner of choice (and their partner is also registered with them). Tournament Directors will not accept any request for changes in doubles partners at any time.

Awards
First, Second and Third Place medals will be awarded. Consolation winners no longer receive medals.

2016 Super Champ Doubles Excellence Notes:
All Super Champ players are eligible. In each age group there will be an A draw and multiple B draws as needed. There will also be a C draw. The A draw will be the top 16 teams. The B draws will consist of all other teams, equally split into draws of 16 (maximum). The C draw will consist of the overflow teams from the B draws and will have a minimum of 4 teams. A and B draws will be compass draws. The C draw will be a round robin or a compass draw depending on the number of teams. All matches will play a 10 point match tiebreak in lieu of the third set. All draws will be adjusted up until the first match begins as long as a match needs to be created. If a match needs to be created, then adjustments will be made up until the previous Thursday at 6:00pm. No adjustments will be made after play begins.

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate 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.
