PATHWAY REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPETING IN TOURNAMENTS USTA
NorCal has established a pathway for players aged 12 and under to
enter into the competitive tournament structure. The purpose of the
pathway is to ensure that juniors are playing at their appropriate
age and skill level. The pathway is mandatory. Information on the
pathway and the requirements of each level can be found at
www.norcal.usta.com/juniors/TAUT_junior_development_pathway/.
PLAYER INFORMATION
1. The Tournament Desk and courts are located at ClubSport Fremont,
46650 Landing Pkwy, at the corner of Warren Blvd, which is on the
west side of Hwy 880 at the south end of Fremont. (See Driving
Directions below.)
2. All players and guests must sign in at Front Desk upon
arrival.
3. Check-In at the Tournament Desk (near the gym) at least 15
minutes ahead of the time of your first match to receive
instructions. Be fully ready walk onto the court to play at that
time. Unless notified otherwise by a tournament worker, remain at
the desk until your match is called. (Please fill up your water
bottle and use the restroom before checking-in.)
4. Snack Bar hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Complimentary light snacks
will be available in the tennis hallway throughout
tournament.
5. REVISED ON 10/2 AT 12:30 pm: Since more than 32 entries have
already been received, the draw is now limited to a maximum of 64
players in multiples of 8, and the time expanded: Half of the
entries will only play from 8am - noon and other half of the
entries will only play from 1-5pm.
6. The tournament uses the "Player Selection Process." After
submitting on online entry, the person's name is put on the
Applicant list. If more than a multiple of 8 in boys and girls
separately and/or more than 64 entries total are received by the
deadline, we will select players by lot. According to USTA NorCal
regulations, entry is NOT on a FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED basis.
After the entry deadline, the tournament committee processes the
entries, which might include drawing names out of the hat to pare
down the list to a manageable number of players. Each applicant who
is selected will receive an email confirming their placement into
the tournament, and their credit card will be charged for the fees.
The others will be put on the Alternate list. For the players on
the Alternate list, their entry fee will not be charged to their
credit card. If someone withdraws after the draws have been posted
on this website, a player from the Alternate list will be chosen
randomly to fill the spot, and will be notified by phone and/or
email. That person would then need to submit the entry fee before
playing.
7. Players will play BOTH singles and doubles in a round robin or
compass draw format. Players who enter without specifying a doubles
partner will be paired up at random by the Tournament
Director.
8. Entrants will play multiple matches (whether they win or lose)
in the 4 hour timeslot.
All matches use No-Ad scoring (i.e. the first player to win 4
points, ahead by 1, wins the game).
Singles matches are either 30 minutes or one 6 game set (whichever
comes first), with a standard tie-break (first to win 7 points) at
5-all.
There will be no playoffs between flights.
Doubles matches are either 25 minutes or one 6 game set, with a 7
point tie-break at 5-all.
Please understand how to play a TIE-BREAK before coming to the
tournament.
Prizes will be awarded for winner and runner-up. Results in singles
and doubles will be added together to determine the place, with the
singles weighted more heavily.
9. Matches are played on the 5 indoor courts and the 3 outdoor
courts at the tournament's discretion. Some warm-up courts may be
available immediately prior to 7:45 and 12:45, but will not be
available during the event.
10. If it rains, call 510-226-8500 ext.516 to find out if the
schedule has changed.
11. Please provide email address and phone numbers in your entry
information, in case we have to contact you.
12. Ringers on all cell phones must be turned off when in the
tennis court area.

must withdraw from the tournament after the entry deadline, contact
the Tournament Director at 510-226-8500 ext.516 AND at
