Important Registration Information and Possible Limits in Draw Sizes
[1] When registering to the tournament, please make sure to provide your
contact information (phone #s and email address) so we may reach you if 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 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 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.

Committees no later than the entry closing date that occurs last.
Players who enter a tournament and play it to completion, may then enter

who is on the alternate list in one tournament is not considered in

concurrent tournament. Players who violate the Concurrent Tournament Rule shall forfeit all ranking points earned at the concurrent tournaments
