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.
