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
•Prior written permission of the Tournament Committees is NOT
required to enter TWO concurrent USTA National Level 3
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 must notify both 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 both 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, even if there are
openings in the younger division at the time of selection or
thereafter.If a player is not selected into the older division,
that player is eligible for selection into the younger division and
is eligible to be an alternate in the younger division, but not in
the older 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.

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 authorized 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
