Concurrent Tournament Rule
A 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.

ENTRY INFORMATION:
Until we actually make all the draws, we cannot tell how the
schedule of matches will shake out. In other words, we cannot tell
when a flight will be played nor if it will be played on just one
weekend. So when entering, you should plan on being available to
play both weekends. If you have just a few hours on one day during
which you cannot play, we can often work around your time
constraint. In that case, go ahead and enter, and send an email to
lparker@clubsports.com, listing the starting and ending times that
you are not able to be at the club, and the reason for the time
constraint. We will make the determination after the entries close,
when we do the draws and schedule. If it does not work out and we
cannot put you into the draw, we will not charge your credit card.
If it does work out, we will put you in, "process" your entry, and
charge your credit card.
Players may enter at most 1 singles event and 1 doubles event. In
other words, players may enter singles and doubles, or singles and
mixed, but not singles and doubles and mixed, nor mens or womens
doubles and mixed, nor singles or doubles in two divisions (like
3.0 and 4.0). Draws must have a minimum of 3 entries to be
held.
When signing up for doubles, both partners must submit an entry
online.
Draws may be limited, depending on the total number of entrants in
the entire tournament. According to USTA NorCal regulations, entry
is NOT on a FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED basis. If needed,
teams/players will randomly be pulled out of the largest draws and
placed on the alternate list. (Although this has happened, it is
rare. Usually, all eligible entrants are selected.) If they do not
get selected, their entry fee will either not be charged to their
credit card or refunded by check a few weeks after the tournament
is completed.
This tournament uses the "Player Selection Process." After
submitting on online entry, the person's name is put on the
Applicant list. After the tournament processes the entries, which
might include drawing names out of the hat to pare down the list to
a manageable number of players, then the applicants who are
officially entered will receive a confirmation email and their
credit card will be charged for the fees. (In most years, all
eligible applicants have been selected.)
If a player must withdraw from the tournament before the entry
deadline, it can be done online at the entry website. If a player
must withdraw from the tournament after the entry deadline, contact
the Tournament Director at 510-226-8500 ext.516 AND at
lparker@clubsports.com.
