If you have entered into any SCTA sanctioned event held the weekend of October 26-27 weekend, or make it past the 1st weekend of an event held October 19-20, you MUST withdraw from the Masters by contacting the Referee by Monday evening October 21st. Provided you contact the Referee, you will not receive any penalty for withdrawing from the Masters. We are not giving permission to players to play both events. This also includes any USTA Regional Tournament Segment event.

Players must play in the division in which they have qualified for, even if they are now not age eligible. The top 8 point earners will receive entry into the Masters (provided they enter). If you qualify for more than one division, you must choose one or the other. You may not play both. If there is a tie in points, the edge will be given to the player that has participated in more Central Coast Grand Prix tournaments.
