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.
