*** Important Registration Information and Possible Limits in Draw Sizes ***
[1] When registering to the tournament, please
make sure to provide your contact information (phone #s and email
address) as we would otherwise be unable to reach you when needed
(registration issues, schedule changes, withdraws, weather issues, ...). [2]
Doubles registrations: No later than the end of the Monday prior to the
Saturday start date of the tournament, any doubles players that have
not previously entered as a team should advise the referee of the
partnership. All players without a partner will then be paired up. It
is your responsibility to check the web site (Competitors list and
draws) to learn about your doubles participation. [3] Please register at the same level for singles and doubles!!! (e.g. If you play B14 singles, you cannot play B12 doubles or B16 doubles, or play G12 singles Challenger and G12 doubles Open). [4] The tournament reserves the right to limit the size of each of the draws/events to 16 singles and 8 doubles (or above). The 12s and under will be limited to 16 singles players and to 8 doubles teams. All other events could be limited up to 32 singles players and to 16 doubles teams as resources allow (or lower). If a selection is needed, it will be done according to the USTA NorCal rules.

*** 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.
