A very important change to note is the correct way to register for doubles online, which will be strictly enforced in 2015 for Super Champ Designated Tournaments. Players may register with or without a partner. Those who register with a partner must indicate their partner through the online registration system before the entry deadline. Players will need to correctly identify their doubles partner during their initial registration process or they may go back later, prior to the entry deadline, and “Edit Registration” to indicate their partner of choice. Correct doubles registration is the player’s responsibility. Immediately after registering, players need to check the Applicant List to ensure they are registered with their partner of choice (and their partner is also registered with them). Tournament Directors will not accept any request for changes in doubles partners at any time.

If both players do not register with each other online, then they will become an individually registered doubles player and be paired with another individually registered doubles player based on the order of the current Standings list. All players registered individually without a partner will be paired with another individually registered doubles player based on the order of the current Standings List, if a partner is available.

If you choose to register for doubles individually then the tournament director will share your email address with your assigned doubles partner. This allows for open communication between partners for warm-up, withdrawals, etc.
