Doubles Registration
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
registration, 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). Remaining individual players will be paired up
based on the order of their Singles UTRs. There will be a 24 hour
doubles pairing period after the deadline for players to correct any
errors in their doubles registration.
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.
