PARTNERS/PAIRING UP PLAYERS WHO DO NOT HAVE A PARTNER
If you wish to play with a specific partner BOTH players must indicate their partner prior to the entry deadline. If only one player indicates a partner, but not the other, the pairing will not be made. This is done to prevent one player from choosing a partner without that player's permission. To indicate a partner after you have entered the tournament, go back to your confirmation email. Return to your registration information and use the "edit" function to add your partner's name. Players who are not paired up at the entry deadline will be paired up with another available player in the order of the champs standing list.
|
PLEASE NOTE-NO LATE ENTRIES
This tournament leaves the entry deadline open until Sunday at 12 midnight. WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT ANY LATE ENTRIES. If your partner is NOT registered by the entering deadline, WE CANNOT PAIR YOU UP. Players can only play with partners who are registered prior to the entry deadline.
|
PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT ENTRY INFORMATION
An important change to note is the correct way to register for doubles
online, which is used in the CMZ Doubles for 2018. Players may
register with or without a partner. If you register with a partner you MUST
indicate your partner through the online registration system before
the entry deadline. Both player need to correctly identify their
doubles partner during either their initial process, or by going back to
the home page of the tournament after registration, prior to the entry
deadline and use "Edit Registration" to "Indicate Doubles Partner" link
to indicate the partner of their choice. Correct doubles registration
is the player's responsibility. Immediately after registering, player
need to check the Applicant List to ensure that they are registered with
their partner of choice (and check to see that their partner is also
registered with them.) Please email the tournament director for
assistance if necessary. THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR CANNOT PAIR YOU UP IF ONLY ONE PLAYER HAS INDICATED THE PARTNER. BOTH PLAYERS MUST BE PAIRED.
|
HOW TO CHANGE PARTNERS
If you have entered the tournament and now need to change partners it is best to withdraw from the tournament and re-enter, using the "Edit Registration" link.

REQUALIFICATION RULES-CMZ
Super Champ players looking to re-qualify can do so by singing up for
one of the singles CMZs or the Doubles CMZ, but cannot play in the
singles division of the Super Champ Level in April in addition to a CMZ.
|
DOUBLES CMZ TIMELINE
The entry deadline for the CMZ Doubles is Sunday, April 15th at midnight.
Players who qualify in the Singles CMZ earlier in April should withdraw
from this tournament prior to the deadline as they will not be eligible
to play. Players will have a 24 hour grace period after entries have
closed to contact the tournament director with any errors in their
doubles registration. After that 24 hour grace period, if both players
are not registered with each other, then they will become individually
registered doubles players. They will be paired with another
individually registered player based on their order in the current
Standings list, if a player is available.
|
HOW IS SEEDING DETERMINED?
The seeding for doubles is based on the current Champs Standing List (rank position, not
points) in each age group. The standing of both players were combined to
create a team ranking. For example, if one player is #4 on the standing list and
another player is #28, their combined ranking is 32. Teams are
placed in order based on this combined ranking. The lower the total
ranking, the higher the seeding.Ties are broken by having the highest ranked individual player's team receiving the higher seed.
|
PLAYING SINGLES AND DOUBLES CMZs
CMZ players may play in both the singles and doubles CMZ within the same
month. Players who qualify for Champs during the April Challengers WILL
NOT be eligible to compete in the April CMZ Doubles. Players who qualify
for Supers in the April Singles CMZ ARE NOT eligible to play in the CMZ
Doubles and should withdraw prior to the entry deadline. Players who
qualify in April cannot play at the next level until May. Player may play SCMZ Doubles only and CMZ Doubles.
|
First-off Consolation – All Challengers and CMZs use the First Off Consolation Format. This format will show as Single Elimination on the tournament homepage, but all players are guaranteed two matches. This format eliminates “maybe matches” and almost every player in consolation will play their first consolation match on Saturday. How does it work? Players that lose in the main draw will be fed into the consolation draw in the order that they come off the court (i.e. the first player to come off the court will go on line one, the sixth player to come off the court will go on line six). This new format ensures more players playing on Saturday and an overall better tournament.
|
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.
