COMPETITORS LIST - ALTERNATE LIST - EMAIL

In the case of a Level 7, you had too many points. 3. You may have been the only player in that age group, therefore it is not being held. - Being placed as an "Alternate" means you did not qualify for the tournament based on one of the above points. - If you do not qualify for the tournament and are not selected, you WILL BE notified via the email address you provided when you registered for the tournament and your credit card WILL NOT be charged. - If you do qualify for the tournament, you WILL NOT be notified and must check the draw for start times.

When Friday match times are necessary, we do all we can to avoid work and school conflicts to ensure an excellent tournament experience, but tournament staff cannot accommodate scheduling requests.

SPECTATOR POLICY

No other sport allows umpire/official/spectator communication, whether it be
about a ruling or any other facet of a sports event. TENNIS IS NOT AN
EXCEPTION. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges.
With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition, at
any time, a parent, friend or coach is merely a spectator.

Coaching, interjection into a match, audible obscenities, physical confrontation or
verbal confrontation deemed to be threatening or disruptive by a coach,
spectator, friend or parent is unacceptable in USTA Northern and will not be
tolerated.
