TOURNAMENTS
MULTIPLE ENTRIES AND SELECTION PROCESS
Players may choose ONE of the following
options, but NOT both:
·
OPTION
1: ENTER any ONE (1) division of TWO (2) concurrent USTA National Level 3
Tournaments (this may be a different division in each tournament); OR
·
OPTION
2: ENTER TWO (2) divisions of ONE (1) USTA National Level 3 tournament
Players may PLAY in only ONE division
of ONE tournament.
Players who register for
three (3) or more events will be given 5 suspension points and will only be
selected into a maximum of two events.
OPTION 1: ONE (1) Division of TWO (2) Concurrent
Tournaments
·
Tournament
Committees will publish the selection and alternate lists no later than two (2)
days after entries close.
·
A
player accepted into both tournaments shall be required to notify the
tournaments no later than five (5) days after the entry deadline (Tuesday
following entry deadline) as to which to which tournament they will play, and
the player shall be refunded their entry fee from the tournament from which the
player is withdrawing. Failure to
withdraw by the deadline absolves the tournament from which the player is
withdrawing from their obligation to refund the entry fee. If a player remains
on more than one competitor list 12 days following the entry deadline (second
Tuesday after the entry deadline), that player will be removed from BOTH
events.
·
If
a player has not been accepted into any tournament, the player may remain on
the alternate list of all tournaments entered, but upon acceptance into one,
the player may not withdraw from that tournament to play in another.
·
Under
no circumstances may a player after being accepted into one concurrent
tournament withdraw and play in another. Doing so shall result in the
assessment of four (4) suspension points for withdrawing for reason other than
injury, illness or personal circumstance.
OPTION 2: TWO Divisions of ONE
Tournament
·
When
a USTA National Level 3 Tournament includes more than one age division, a
player may enter up to two age divisions of that tournament.
·
Players
shall be selected who have entered two divisions in descending age division
order: 18, 16, 14, and 12. If a player is entered in two age divisions of a
USTA National Level 3 Tournament and is selected into the older division, that
player shall not be eligible for selection into the younger division.
·
If
a player is not selected for either age division, that player is eligible to be
an alternate for the younger age division only.

Withdrawals and Entry Fee Refunds at USTA National Junior Tournaments
It is a player’s responsibility to immediately take action to withdraw from the tournament should circumstances arise which would not enable a player to compete. Good sportsmanship and the USTA Regulations dictate that a player should never: • enter a tournament they do not intend to finish • withdraw from a tournament after entries close unless it is for injury, illness, or personal circumstance • enter two or more concurrent tournaments without prior written approval from each Tournament Committee
WITHDRAWING FROM A TOURNAMENT:
• Prior to Entry Deadline: If entries have not yet closed, a player may withdraw by going to the tournament’s USTA TennisLink Home Page - the same web page that the player registered for the tournament. Once in the system, click on the "Register Now" text in red. When taken to the next page, click on "Withdraw" on the left hand side of the screen. You will need your confirmation number from your original registration to withdraw. Because your credit card will not be charged prior to the entry deadline, no refund needs to be made. If you cannot locate your confirmation number, contact linkteam@usta.com.
• Previously Authorized Entries into Concurrent Tournaments: If a player has previously received written approval to enter concurrent tournaments from each Tournament Committee, the player must immediately notify the Tournament Director and/or Referee to let them know which tournament the player has chosen to play.
• After Entry Deadline: Immediately contact the tournament if to withdraw from the tournament - telephone numbers and email addresses of the Tournament Director and/or Referee will be posted on the tournament’s USTA TennisLink Home Page. Players must also fulfill the written verification requirements described below if the withdrawal is for injury, illness, or personal circumstance and the player wants to avoid being levied USTA Suspension Points. ENTRY FEE REFUND:
• Player is Not Accepted Into Tournament: If a player has previously paid an entry fee and is not accepted into the tournament, the player is entitled to a refund. Generally, in USTA National Junior Tournaments, no player is charged an entry fee until tournament selection is done and the acceptance list is published to the tournament website. The TennisLink processing fee paid in addition to the entry fee is not refundable.
• Previously Authorized Entries into Concurrent Tournaments: If a player has previously received written authority to enter concurrent tournaments from each Tournament Committee, the player is entitled to a refund from the tournament(s) that will not be played. The TennisLink processing fee paid in addition to the entry fee is not refundable.
• Other Withdrawal After the Entry Deadline: Players who withdraw after the entry deadline for any reason other than a previously autorized entry into concurrent tournaments are not entitled to a refund.
USTA SUSPENSION POINTS: Any withdrawal (other than for previously authorized entry into concurrent tournaments) that does not meet the written verification requirements described below by the last scheduled day of the tournament (and, in the case of personal circumstances, has also been approved as a personal circumstance by the Referee) will result in the player being levied suspension points and any match that is not played will be coded as a Default.
WRITTEN VERIFICATION REQUIREMENT FOR WITHDRAWALS DUE TO INJURY, ILLNESS OR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCE:
• Illness or Injury: The required written verification of an injury or illness must be from a medical professional and must be received by the tournament no later than the last scheduled day of the tournament.
• Personal Circumstance: If the player is withdrawing because of a personal circumstance, the player must deliver a written description of the situation no later than the last scheduled day of the tournament and the Referee will determine whether the situation is a personal circumstance.
