Notes
1. Sign up for the same age group and ball color that you play
in USTA tournaments. USTA birthday rules now apply.
2. All players who compete in 4 or more DPTA Junior Circuit
tournaments will be eligible for the Masters Tournament in August.
The top 2 players in each age group in the Masters will win a spot
on the Dallas team that will compete at the USPTA State
Championships at John Newcombe's Tennis Ranch this fall.
3. DPTA Junior Circuit tournaments are open to unqualified players
from all over Texas and other states, too. Anyone who is not Champ
or Super Champ qualified is eligible to participate!
As a quick overview, DPTA Junior Circuits are one-day singles
tournaments offered to unqualified players. There are divisions of
play for orange, green, and yellow ball players. Everyone will play
at least two matches.
Yellow ball format is an 8 game pro set, ad scoring, tiebreak at 7
all. Green and orange ball format is 2 out of 3 first to four game
sets, no ad scoring and a 7 point tiebreaker for the 3rd set.
The DPTA Junior Circuits are a part of the Texas USPTA Junior Gran
Prix Circuit. We welcome unqualified players from all over Texas
and surrounding states, but please note that only players who live
in the "75" immediate Dallas area zip code qualify for the Masters
and State championship at the end of our season.
At the end of the 2015-2016 season, there will be a Masters
tournament for all juniors who have played 4 or more DPTA Junior
Circuit tournaments. Only yellow and green ball age divisions will
be offered at the Masters tournament. The top 2 finishers at the
Masters will be invited to play on the Dallas team that competes at
the USPTA State Championships at John Newcombe's Tennis Ranch in
the fall.
Please note that there are no refunds after the entry deadline.
Also, if you default out of a tournament for any reason more than 2
times, you will be ineligible for the Masters tournament or trip to
Newk's.
If you qualify for Champs before August 1, 2016, you are no longer
eligible for the DPTA junior circuits but are eligible for the DPTA
Champ Super Tournaments which are USTA sanctioned.
If you would like to see more information about the DPTA Junior
circuits, please go to our website at dptatennis.org.
No refunds for withdrawals or in the event of rain.
