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 must play the same age division in singles and doubles, but
you do not have to be in the singles draw to play doubles. 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 to follow step 2 below to confirm your
registration * 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 only. If you do not confirm, it
will be assumed that you do not wish to play doubles.
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
