Tournament Canceled due to New Santa Clara Health Department Restrictions
This tournament has been canceled due to the new Santa Clara
health department restrictions that prohibit both contact sports and
sports/activities that require that large numbers of families from different
households gather in close proximity. In
addition, the order has a "Mandatory Directive on Travel, which strongly
discourages leisure and non-essential travel, and requires persons entering the
county to quarantine for 14 days upon return from travel of more than 150
miles." This order is in effect
until at least December 21st.

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.
