LIMITS.......ONE NTRP LEVEL; TWO EVENTS
Players must restrict their registration to one NTRP level, and two events. Doubles players must have their partner linked to them, and both partners must have their fees paid before the registration deadline. Please realize that a person can identify their partner and NOT pay for them, and their team will not be included in the draw, so talk to each other, and be sure those fees are paid.

Three sites in use: copy this page for directions
Matches are held at three sites, as mentioned above. Please report directly to the site at which your match is scheduled. There is no "MAIN SITE" where everyone needs to check in.
Directions to each site are given separately below. Please print them as needed. DON"T CALL FOR DIRECTIONS ON TOURNAMENT DAYS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD. Players who call the desk when they get on the road and have not printed the directions are pulling the officials off court. Check the draw to find your match site... then go there!

This link to Hotels.com lists GIiroy hotels and motels as well as a few places in Watsonville and Morgan Hill. MH is about 10 minutes south, and Watsonville is over the Santa Cruz mountains about a half hour. The Forest Park Inn here in Gilroy, with rates down to $56, has a tennis court, but it is very popular and fills up early. Many local hotels offer rooms under $75 if you book early. Shop on each hotels's individual website as well as hotels.com, as some properties have even lower prices if booked directly off their website, as opposed to sharing costs with hotels.com.
