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 and the concurrent tournaments will not count toward the minimum tournament requirement to qualify for Grand Prix.

General Information
When you register, please be sure to provide
your email address and cell phone number during the registration process. We do
not have access to phone numbers and email addresses of the tournament
participants UNLESS the player re-enters their contact information at the time
of the event registration. This means that if a player does not enter their
phone number and email information each time they register for a tournament, we
will not be able to contact them for any reason, including withdrawals, defaults,
etc. Your cooperation will ensure that we can continue to communicate necessary
information to all of the tournament players.

Check-In Procedure
Please check in at the tournament desk at least
15 minutes before your scheduled match time. Please go to the bathroom, fill
your water bottle, etc. before you check in. Players are expected to check and
comply with all scheduling done by the Tournament Committee.
Regulation IV.A.2. in the 2012 Friend at Court states, “The referee may
penalize a player who is on site for lateness if a court is available and the
player has failed to check in at the tournament desk by the scheduled match
time." This means, if there is 1 open court at 10:00AM and there are 3
matches to put on, the Referee will start the clock for lateness for anyone who
has not checked in for 10:00AM, even though there are not enough courts for all
3 matches.

This tournament is a Tournament Director
selection process. This means that you are not officially in the tournament
until accepted by the Director. More than likely all players will be accepted
unless we have extremely large draws. We are in compliance with USTA rules on
the selection process if we unfortunately have to reject participants.
Eligibility to this tournament is open to all USTA members that fall in the
appropriate/correct age brackets. If your birthday is during the same month of
the tournament then you must play in the next higher age group.
