[1] When registering to the tournament, please make sure to provide your
contact information (phone #s and email address) as we would otherwise

changes, withdraws, weather issues, ...). [2] Doubles registrations:
No later than the end of the Sunday prior to the Friday start date of
the tournament, any doubles players that have not previously entered as a

without a partner will then be paired up. It is your responsibility to
check the web site (Competitors list and draws) to learn about your
doubles participation. [3] Please register at the same level for singles and doubles!!! (e.g. If you play B14 singles, you cannot play B12 doubles or B16 doubles, or play G12 singles Challenger and G12 doubles Open). ==> Players in violation of this requirement will still receive an email approving them in doubles at their
registered level but they will later on be moved to their proper level (same as their singles level), so check the web site!!! [4] The tournament reserves the right to limit the size of each of the draws/events to 32 singles and 16 doubles teams.
All other events could also be limited if needed as resources allow. If a selection is needed, it will be done according to the USTA NorCal rules.
