Concurrent Tournament Rule
A player shall not be entered at the time entries close in two or more USTA sanctioned tournaments scheduled to take place at the same time, in whole or in part, unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the situation, concurs in writing, and each agrees to accommodate the player’s schedule. The final decision rests with each tournament committee. If one tournament agrees to accept concurrent entries and accommodate the player's schedule but the concurrent tournament does not, the player may not enter both. If entries for the overlapping tournaments close on different dates, approval must be received from all Tournament Committees no later than the entry closing date that occurs last. Players who enter a tournament and play it to completion, may then enter another tournament with overlapping dates without permission. If a player violates this concurrent tournament rule ranking points earned in any concurrent tournament played will not count toward ranking or the Grand Prix Points Race and the concurrent tournaments will not count toward the minimum tournament requirement to qualify for Grand Prix.

ENTRY INFORMATION
Please provide email address and phone numbers in your
entry information, in case we have to contact you (e.g. your
opponent gets sick the day before your 8:00 a.m. match).
The general plan is to start the singles on the first weekend, with
the final rounds on the second weekend. And the general plan is to
play the doubles on the second weekend, though some doubles matches
might be played on the first weekend.
If you just have a few hours on one day during which you cannot
play, we can often work around your time constraint. In that case,
send an email to vinh.thai@clubsports.com, listing the starting and
ending times that you are not able to be at the club, and the
reason for the time constraint. If it does not work out and we
cannot put you into the draw, we will either not charge your credit
card or refund (by check) your entry fee a few weeks after the
tournament is finished.
No accommodations will be made for league matches.
Players may enter at most 2 events.
Draws must have a minimum of 3 entries to be held.
When signing up for doubles, both players must submit an entry
online.
Draws may be limited, depending on the total number of entrants in
the entire tournament. According to USTA NorCal regulations, entry
is NOT on a FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED basis. If needed,
teams/players will randomly be pulled out of the largest draws and
placed on the alternate list. (Usually, all eligible entrants are
selected.) If you are not selected, your entry fee will either not
be charged to your credit card or refunded by check a few weeks
after the tournament is completed.
This tournament uses the "Player Selection Process." After
submitting on online entry, the person's name is put on the
Applicant list. After the tournament processes the entries, the
applicants who are officially entered will receive a confirmation
email and their credit card will be charged for the fees. (In most
years, all eligible applicants have been selected.)
If a player must withdraw from the tournament BEFORE the entry
deadline, it can be done online at the entry website. If a player
must withdraw from the tournament AFTER the entry deadline, contact
the Tournament Director at vinh.thai@clubsports.com AND
510-226-8500 ext.516.
The draws and schedule will be posted by 8 a.m. on Wednesday.
