*** Welcome to the Oak Park Tennis Center for the 64rd Annual Challenge Cup Open Tournament ***
|
*** Tournament Update as of Sunday 1/24 at 6PM ***
The first day of the tournament is almost concluded. Great tennis and great court manners.
Next week, we could again have some weather problem so please monitor the web site for further updates. For now, we decided to delay start time again to 10AM to ensure that the courts have enough time to dry up from the morning mist.

*** Important Registration Information ***
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 issue, ...).

*** 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.
