Register —There will be a desk for alternates registration at Barnes Tennis Center on the first day of play for both age divisions.
Only players that are already on the Tournament's Homepage "Alternate List" will be allowed to sign in.
Players must sign In at the "On-site Alternate Desk" at Barnes Tennis Center as follows:
Girls 16's must do so between 7:00 & 7:30 am on Saturday, August 4th.
Girls 18's must do so between 7:00 & 7:30 am on Sunday, August 5th.
DO NOT SIGN UP AND LEAVE. Unfortunately being an on-site alternate is a waiting game. YOU MUST BE PRESENT AT THE BARNES CENTER TOURNAMENT DESK IN ORDER TO REPLACE SOMEONE IN THE DRAW. If you are not present, we will go to the next alternate on the On-Site Alternate List.
On-Site Alternates will be ordered using the list found on the tournament's homepage.
Watch and Wait — If a player is a no-show for a match or a player withdraws before play begins for her first match, we then call the highest ordered On-Site Alternate who has signed in on time at the On-Site Alternate Desk, and that player is placed in the draw.

Entry Fee — If you are selected to play, please be ready to pay $130 in cash before you go to your first round match.

If the reason is due to injury or illness, you must meet with the Trainer before leaving Barnes Tennis Center to receive written verification.

All players (and on-site alternates) must e-mail Eric Stephens at bjkgirlsnationals@gmail.com to confirm their doubles partners. Even if you selected a partner during tournament registration, we still want an e-mail from each player to verify their partner. We would like to have the doubles teams mostly set up before registration day. If you do not have a partner, we will be happy to try and pair you up.

* "Looking-for-a-partner" list: If you wish to play doubles and are without a partner, there will be a "looking-for-a-partner" list at the doubles check-in desk on both registration days.

If you are not endorsed by your Section and/or have other issues that keep you from being selected into the event, you may apply for a Wild Card entry. Up to 8 Wild Cards may be granted for the Nationals in the 16s and there are up to 8 Wild Cards in the 18s.
All applicants must be eligible to enter a USTA National Championship, be in good standing with their Sectional Association, and may not be under suspension by the USTA. Wild card consideration is given to players who were unable to meet their section’s requirements for endorsement to USTA National Championships . Applicants are not required to submit timely entries into the tournament to be considered for a wild card. Applications MUST be filed separately for each National Championship and submitted online no later than 5:00 pm Eastern Time five (5) days after the entry deadline for the tournament for which the Wild Card is sought.
Early application is strongly encouraged. THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR DOES NOT HAVE THE APPLICATIONS. Once the application deadline has passed, the USTA will confirm that the applicant is in good standing with her Sectional Association. Shortly thereafter, the Wild Card Committee will meet to determine the wild card recipients. Only those players selected to receive wild cards will be notified. more info

The USTA Regulations allow a player to enter more than one age division of a USTA National Championship. If you want to play in the Nationals in San Diego, but aren’t sure if you will get in, you may enter up to two age divisions. When tournament selection is done, players will be selected for the 18s USTA National Championship first. If you are selected for the 18s Nationals, you will not be considered for the 16s.If you are not selected for the 18s, you will be considered for the 16s division. This is an important thing to consider before entering. If you enter two divisions and are not accepted into the older division, you can only be considered for main draw and alternate status in the younger division. Although you can enter two divisions, you cannot play in two divisions in the Nationals. You will be selected for one division only, and if you plan to enter doubles, you must play in the age division of your singles entry with an eligible partner. In other words, you cannot play singles in the Girls' 16s and doubles in the 18s.

No entry fee is charged if a player withdraws before entries close. By USTA rule, no refund is guaranteed after entries close.

The seeds should be posted on Monday, July 30th. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SEEDING PLEASE EMAIL JRCOMP@USTA.COM Girls 16 draw should be posted on Wednesday, Aug 1st by 9 pm pacific time & Girls 18's by Thursday, Aug 2nd by 9 pm Pacific Time.
