TOY 5.0 Designation
The 2016 South Bay NTRP has been designated a TOY (Tournament of the Year) for 5.0. All matches in this division will earn 1.5x points under the Points Per Round Ranking System. Also there will be a 3rd/4th place match in 5.0 singles.

Entry Limitations (PLEASE NOTE THIS)
In order to reduce scheduling conflicts, players are limited to a maximum of one singles and one doubles event at the same level. This means that you may only enter one of Mens/Womens doubles and Mixed Doubles. You may enter both a singles event and a doubles event. Both at the same level.

Draws
Draws are limited to 16 teams (doubles) or 16 players (singles) so that all divisions can be completed in one weekend. If court time is available, singles draws will be expanded (in recent years we have been able to accommodate 24 or more players in some of the singles draws). Friday matches may start as early as 4pm (depends on the size of the draws) at Cuesta Tennis Center. Friday matches are primarily Mens singles matches (all levels). However, some other matches (singles and doubles) may be scheduled on Friday in order to resolve conflicts for players in multiple divisions.
All matches up to and including the quarterfinals are best 2 out of 3 sets with a 10 point Match Tiebreak in lieu of a full third set. Semi-finals and finals are 3 full sets. This applies to all events, singles and doubles.

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.
