Concurrent Tournament RuleA player shall not be entered at
the time entries close in two or more USTA sanctioned tournaments
scheduled to take place at the same time, in whole or in part,
unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the
situation, concurs in writing, and each agrees to accommodate the
player's schedule. The final decision rests with each tournament
committee. If one tournament agrees to accept concurrent entries
and accommodate the player's schedule but the concurrent tournament
does not, the player may not enter both. If entries for the
overlapping tournaments close on different dates, approval must be
received from all Tournament Committees no later than the entry
closing date that occurs last. Players who enter a tournament and
play it to completion, may then enter another tournament with
overlapping dates without permission. If a player violates this
concurrent tournament rule ranking points earned in any concurrent
tournament played will not count toward ranking or the Grand Prix
Points Race and the concurrent tournaments will not count toward
the minimum tournament requirement to qualify for Grand Prix.
