WELCOME:
Welcome to the Stockon 12s and 14s Junior Age Up Championship
hosted at the University of the Pacific and Brookside Country Club.
Stockton is a wonderful city that has many areas of entertainment
and dining that you will find in a very close vicinity to your
hotel and tournament sites. Please go to stocktongov.com to find
more information about movie theaters, places of interest and
more.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
When you register, 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.
CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL TOURNAMENTS:
Beginning in 2014, some of the Championship tournaments - those
designated "Age Up" - will select some of the players from the
ranking list of the next-younger division. This means that when,
for example, an 18s division Championship Age Up Tournament is
held, some of the players will be selected for the tournament using
the 16s ranking list. NorCal has transformed its Championship
Tournaments offering for advanced and intermediate players in
several important ways:
Age Up vs. Age Division: There are now two types of
tournaments - "Age Up" and "Age Division" Championships. The
following distinguishes them from one another:
* Selection - * "Age Up" tournaments select some players from the
Final Ranking List of the next-younger age division, while "Age
Division" tournaments select all players from the Final Ranking
List of the Division.
• Draw Size - "Age Up" tournaments have a maximum singles draw size
of 48; "Age Division" tournaments have a maximum singles draw size
of 40.
• Doubles - No doubles will take place at the 3-day "Age Division"
tournaments, but doubles is required to be offered at the 4 to
5-day "Age Up" tournaments.
Limited Draws: As noted above, the singles draws are
limited, but this should not be of concern to players:
• All of the Age Up Tournaments are held at the same time as the
lower-level Sectional Open Jamboree. This means that players that
don't get into the Age Up Championship can play in a Sectional Open
Jamboree if they so desire.
• Three of the Age Division Tournaments are held concurrent with
significant USTA national tournaments (USTA National Selection
Tournaments and USTA Regional Tournaments) and one is held
concurrent with the higher-level Excellence Tournament. This means
that many advanced players that would normally play a Championship
in 2013 will be off playing nationally, giving players that stay
in-Section the opportunity to compete.
New Singles Draw Format: All Championship Tournaments will use the
new Feed-In Championship through the Round of 16. This format takes
the losers of the Quarterfinals and puts them in a separate draw to
compete for 5th and 6th place.
RANKING LEVEL
This is a NorCal ranking level 3 tournament.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT:
This tournament is only open to USTA NorCal residents who meet
citizenship or certain alien eligibility requirements. For more
information on residency and citizenship or alien requirements for
NorCal, please see USTA NorCal Junior Tournament Rules by clicking
in "more info" below.

DRAW SIZE:
48 players will be selected for each age division. When the singles
and doubles draws are full, the 16 seeded singles players and 8
seeded doubles teams receive Round 1 byes in a 48-draw
tournament.
SELECTION PROCESS:
Selection will be done by USTA NorCal staff.
1. Up to 18 players from the top 30 of the USTA NorCal Ranking List
of the next-younger division.
2. Remaining players selected using the most recently published
NorCal Rankings List of the division.
3. Alternates ordered using the most recently published NorCal
Rankings List of the division.
Selection Policy - Concurrent Championship Age Up Tournaments
and Sectional Open Jamborees:
This January tournament is concurrent with a Sectional Open
Jamboree. Selection shall first be done by USTA NorCal staff for
the Championship Age Up Tournament. A player entered in both
tournaments that is not accepted into the Championship Age Up
Tournament shall be eligible for selection into the Sectional Open
Jamboree. A player may be an alternate for both tournaments;
however once a player accepts a position in a draw of one
tournament that player may not subsequently withdraw from that
tournament to play in the other. Doing so shall be considered a
violation of the
Concurrent Tournament Rule:
CONCURRENT TOURNAMENTS
When entries close, a player shall not be entered in two or more
sanctioned tournaments if any parts of the tournaments overlap,
unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the situation
and concurs in writing. 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. A player who is on the alternate list in
one tournament is not considered in violation of the Concurrent
Tournament Rule if they enter another concurrent tournament.
Players who violate the Concurrent Tournament Rule shall forfeit
all ranking points earned at the concurrent tournaments.
Exception to Entering Concurrent Tournament: Concurrent entries
shall be permitted, but playing in concurrent tournaments is not
permitted under the following conditions:
• Concurrent entry is into one division of a Championship Age Up
Tournament and one division of a Sectional Open Jamboree. The entry
into the Championship Age Up Tournament may be in a younger
division than the Sectional Open Jamboree.
Once a player accepts a position in a draw of one tournament that
player may not subsequently withdraw from that tournament to play
in the other. Doing so shall be considered a violation of the
Concurrent Tournament Rule.
