Notes
LATE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED INTO THIS
TOURNAMENT.
DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO REGISTER. Online
registration is required and needs to be COMPLETED before the entry
deadline. In the case of a technical problem, contact the USTA MV
Junior Competition Program Manager at chambers@movalley.usta.com or
913.322.4832 BEFORE THE ENTRY DEADLINE. If calling, be sure to
leave a voicemail. The time stamp on the email or the voicemail
needs to be BEFORE the entry deadline.
If you are not sure if you have registered correctly, you may
check your registration two different ways:
1. Check the confirmation email sent to you by TennisLink. The
email will indicate which events you are registered for. There will
be an "s" next to the age division to indicate registration for
singles, and a "d" next to the age division to indicate
registration for doubles. Please note, that although you may have
registered for doubles, you must still make sure you have followed
the process below to be fully registered
2. Check the "Applicants" tab on the tournament homepage. Next to
your name you will see the event(s) and division(s) for which you
have successfully registered. If you successfully registered with a
partner your partner's name will also appear on your
registration.
Entering Multiple Age Divisions - When entries close, a
player may be entered in up to two age divisions. The USTA Missouri
Valley selects players for the singles main draws in the following
order: 18, 16, 14, 12. Unless otherwise notified at
chambers@movalley.usta.com, a player entered in two divisions will
be placed in the older age division should the player qualify for
both divisions. If a player is entered in two age divisions and is
selected into the older division, that player shall not be eligible
for selection into the younger division and will be removed from
the alternates list. If a player is not selected for the older
division, that player is eligible for selection in the younger
division and is eligible to be an alternate in the younger division
but not the older division. If the player does not qualify for
either division, the player will be placed on the alternates list
of the younger age division and removed from the alternates list of
the older age division as players can only be on the alternates
list for one division.

Schedule
This event is a Friday-Sunday tournament. You
can expect matches to begin as early as 8AM on Friday.
Doubles - Players must play the same age division in singles
and doubles, but you do not have to be in the singles draw to play
doubles. Players in the singles draw are required to team with
another player in the singles draw unless not all players in the
singles draw choose to play doubles. In this case, the player in
the singles draw may team with any player on the alternates
list. Any doubles entries that are not done online, need to be
emailed to the tournament director by the Monday before the start
of the tournament.
There are two ways in which a team will be placed in the
doubles draw.
1. If both members of the team sign up with each other online, and
both have gained entry into singles they will be placed on the draw
at the time of singles selection. BOTH partners must have indicated
each other as partners to be considered. If both signed up together
online, but one of the players did not make the singles draw, it
will be necessary for the player who DID make the singles draw to
email the tournament director with a new partner
2. After on-line singles registration closes, a team may be placed
in the draw by contacting the tournament director (information
above) with your partner's information by 12:00 PM on the Monday
before the start of the tournament. Both partners need to contact
the tournament director to verify the team. If both players do not
confirm with the tournament director, the team will not be accepted
into the draw. Again, if you registered for doubles correctly in
step 1, but one player did not make the singles draw, please
confirm with the tournament director that you would still like to
be considered for doubles and please email them your new
partner
If you do not have a partner, email the tournament
director by the above deadline and let them know you would like to
be placed into the blind draw. If you are placed in the blind draw,
it is not guaranteed that there will be a partner for you. Teams in
the blind draw are selected at random and there is not always an
even number of players to be paired. Thanks for your
understanding.
Please make every effort to secure a partner and
register online correctly prior to the entry deadline. This
requires your partners USTA number upon registration.

need to be done through the online registration process. Click on
the "Withdraw" link in the Edit Registration box to complete. Your

deadline. Click on the "Locate Confirmation Number" link if you

to provide documentation will result in Suspension Points.
On-Site Alternates - Players who applied for entry into the
tournament but were not accepted into the draw may choose to be an
on-site alternate. On-site alternates will be listed in the order
in which their names appear on the USTA MV Standing List that was
used for selection. On-Site alternates MUST be on site for the
first round of play in the age division for which they are an
on-site alternate. Please contact the tournament director for
further instructions.
