*** Important Registration Information ***
[1] When registering to the tournament, please
make sure to provide your contact information (phone #s and email
address) as we would otherwise be unable to reach you when needed
(registration issues, schedule changes, withdraws, weather issues, ...).
[2]
Doubles registrations: No later than the end of the Monday prior to the
Saturday start date of the tournament, any doubles players that have
not previously entered as a team should advise the referee of the
partnership. All doubles registrations are due at close of general registrations. All players 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 not be accepted in that incorrect doubles event!!!
[4] The tournament
reserves the right to limit the size of each of the draws/events to 16 singles
and 8 doubles (or above).
As we have four days, those limits could be increased as resources allow.
If a selection is needed, it will be
done according to the USTA NorCal rules.

*** How to Find your Match Date/Time & Location ***
* The following instructions are to be used after the posting of the draws on Friday morning * Remember that the 'Challenger' events are now called 'Entry Level' events, but we will still use the name 'challenger' in this tournament.
YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE AN EMAIL WITH YOUR MATCH TIME AND LOCATION SO PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
On the right of the 'Important Information' button there is a new 'draws' button. Click on it and select the event that a player is registered to. Know that some draws (e.g. B12s, B14s, ...) are quite large so the system divides them in two, so a symbol (with a picture of a draw on it) allows you to select the top or bottom half of the draw and you could be on the second part of the draw. On the left of each draw, find the player's name and follow the line to the right. That will show you the first match, with a date/time and the abbreviated site name (e.g. DAC is De Anza College), The sites (names, abbreviated names, addresses and Google maps), are available on the tournament web site. Come 15 minutes before your scheduled match time. After your match, report your match result (win or lose) and ask for your next match time.

*** Concurrent Tournament Rule ***
When entries close, a player shall not be
entered in two or more sanctioned tournaments if any parts of the
tournaments overlap, unless each Tournament Committee involved
understands the situation and concurs in writing. 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. A player who is on the alternate list in one
tournament is not considered in violation of the Concurrent Tournament
Rule if they enter another concurrent tournament. Players who violate the Concurrent Tournament Rule shall forfeit all ranking points earned at the concurrent tournament.

*** Check Your Draw Closely for your Site (for Each Match) ***

time and or withdrawals. All changes made within 24 hrs of tournament
