Concurrent Tournament Rule
A player shall not be entered at the time entries close in two
or more USTA sanctioned tournaments scheduled to take place at the same time,
in whole or in part, unless each Tournament Committee involved understands
the situation, concurs in writing, and each agrees to accommodate the player’s
schedule. The final decision rests with each tournament committee. If one
tournament agrees to accept concurrent entries and accommodate the player's
schedule but the concurrent tournament does not, the player may not enter
both. 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. If a player violates this concurrent tournament rule
ranking points earned in any concurrent tournament played will not count
toward ranking or the Grand Prix Points Race and the concurrent tournaments
will not count toward the minimum tournament requirement to qualify for Grand
Prix.
