SELECTIONS ARE BASED ON DOUBLES TEAMS COMBINED STANDINGS- WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND BOTH PLAYERS REGISTER FOR DOUBLES TO ENSURE THEY WONT BE MISSED AT THE TIME OF SELECTION. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT TEAMS TOGETHER OURSELVES, HOWEVER, IF AT LEAST ONE TEAM MEMBER REGISTERS BOTH PLAYERS AS A DOUBLES TEAM, THEN THEY WILL BE CONSIDERED, AS LONG AS THE OTHER PLAYER IS REGISTERED FOR SINGLES. IF BOTH PLAYERS ARE REGISTERED FOR DOUBLES IT MAKES THE SELECTION PROCESS MUCH EASIER.

This tournament is a 2 player TEAM event. We will be using the most recent NSL when selecting players. Selections will be based on the combined rankings of both players on each team. The 16 teams with the lowest ranking totals will be chosen. The alternate list will be based on individual player ranking - not the team.

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. more info

THIS TOURNAMENT IS A TEAM EVENT. EACH DIVISION WILL HAVE 16 TEAMS - TEAMS CONSIST OF 2 PLAYERS, FOR A TOTAL OF 32 PLAYERS PER DIVISION. PLAYERS MUST REGISTER WITH A PARTNER. MATCHES AGAINST OTHER TEAMS WILL CONSIST OF 2 SINGLES AND A DOUBLES. WE WILL PLAY A COMPASS DRAW SO ALL TEAMS WILL PLAY 4 ROUNDS. BOTH SINGLES AND DOUBLES MATCHES WILL PLAY BEST OF 3 SHORT SETS WITH NO-AD SCORING. SHORTS SETS OR FAST FOUR IS A FUN NEW FORMAT USED IN AUSTRALIA THIS YEAR. A MODIFIED VERSION IS ALSO BEING USED IN COLLEGE TENNIS.

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.

WE WILL HAVE PLAYER REGISTRATION BEFORE PLAY STARTS ON SATURDAY - BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE REQUIRED TO REGISTER ONE HOUR BEFORE THEY ARE SCHEDULED TO PLAY.

Because players are entering as a two person team - we will add the rankings of the two players together to determine the four seeded teams. more info

All US juniors must be in good standing with the USTA to enter ITF Tournaments and USTA International Tournaments, which includes USTA Membership.

Age Eligibility

The USTA uses a "month of birth" age eligibility rule for junior players competing in USTA sanctioned tournaments. This rule applies to all local, District, Sectional, and National USTA sanctioned tournaments – it does not apply to USTA International Tournaments and ITF Tournaments. Junior players may continue to play in the 12, 14, 16 and 18 age divisions until the month they turn 13, 15, 17, or 19, respectively.
USTA International Tournaments and ITF Tournaments use a "year of birth" age eligibility rule. Juniors may play the 18s, 16s, 14s or 12s division until the year in which they turn 13, 15, 17, or 19 respectively.

Professionals

Professional players who are age eligible may enter and play in all USTA National Championships. USTA International Tournaments and ITF Tournaments are governed by ITF Regulations and allow professional players to play. All other USTA junior tournaments are limited to amateurs.

Citizenship and Residency Requirements

USTA National Championships, USTA National Doubles Championships, USTA National Level 2 Tournaments, USTA National Level 3 Tournaments, Additional USTA Junior National Tournaments, USTA National Spring Team Championships, USTA National Team Championships, USTA Intersectional Team Championships, and USTA Zone Team Championships shall be open to US citizens and:
· Permanent resident aliens of the United States.
· Diplomats. Aliens who have resided in the United States continuously for more than one year and who are members of families of persons in the diplomatic or consular corps.
· Aliens with Refugee Status. Aliens who have been granted Refugee Status.

The citizenship and residency requirements do not apply to USTA International Tournaments and ITF Tournaments.

Multiple Entries: Players Have TWO Options
Players Choose ONE of the Following Options, but NOT Both:
· OPTION 1: Enter any ONE Division of TWO Concurrent USTA National Level 3 Tournaments (this may be a different division in each tournament); OR
· OPTION 2: Enter TWO Divisions of ONE USTA National Level 3 Tournament
Players may PLAY in only ONE division of ONE tournament.
OPTION 1: ONE Division of TWO Concurrent Tournaments
· A player seeking to enter two concurrent USTA National Level 3 Tournament must get permission to enter as set forth in USTA Regulation IV.C.12. This requires a player to request and receive the written permission of both Tournament Committees for the concurrent entry by the time entries close.
· Tournament Committees shall be required to grant permission for concurrent entry when a request is made; however these requests are required - a Tournament Committee may not post a blanket permission for concurrent entry.
· Tournament Committees will publish the selection and alternate lists no later than 2 days after entries close.
· A player accepted into both tournaments shall be required to notify the tournaments no later than 5 days after entries close as to which tournament they will be playing and the player shall be refunded their entry fee (but not the TennisLink administrative fee). Failure to withdraw by the deadline absolves the tournament from which the player is withdrawing from their obligation to refund the entry fee and will result in the assessment of 4 suspension points for withdrawing for reason other than injury, illness, or personal circumstance.
· As a courtesy, a player that is accepted into one tournament and not the other(s) should remove themselves from the alternate list of the other tournament(s) no later than 5 days after entries close. Failure to do so will not result in a penalty.
· If a player has not been accepted into any tournament, they may remain on the alternate lists of all tournaments, but upon acceptance into one, they 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 4 suspension points for withdrawing for reason other than injury, illness, or personal circumstance.
Option 2 Procedure: 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.
· The Tournament Committee shall select players 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 draw at the time of selection or thereafter. If a player is not selected for the older division, that player is eligible for selection in the younger division and is eligible to be an alternate in the younger division but not in the older division.
Selection Process
· Selection: Players are accepted into a USTA National Level 3 Tournament using the most recently published National Standings List as of the date entries close.
· Alternates: Alternates are ordered using the same National Standings List used to select players into the tournament. Players with no National Standing are ordered after players with standing by random drawing. Late entries are placed on the bottom of the alternate list in the order received. Late entries received at the same time are ordered randomly.
