We will accept them up until 2PM on Tuesday. We can accept the registration into your age group if their registration does not affect the seeding. If the registration affects the seeding then we will automatically move the child up to the next age group where the seeding is not affected. We will not call you to confirm this change. The additional cost for a late registration is $10.00 per player. You will need to call LPTC before 2PM on Tuesday afternoon at 770-919-8602 and pay over the phone by credit card.

New for 2019
USTA Georgia is publishing two separate standing lists for 10 and under players: Orange Ball standings and Green Ball standings. Players will receive same level points for this tournament but will be listed in separate standing lists according to their ball color (green ball players no longer receive level 3 points on a level 4 or 5 tournament).

Player selection
This tournament is open for junior players regardless of ranking. You will receive an automated email if your player is selected and your credit card is charged.

Late Entrants
USTA Georgia will allow late entrants to be accepted into all USTA GA tournaments in the event that the draw is not full, provided that such late entrants do not affect the seeding and further provided that late entrants do not prevent timely entrants to be accepted into the draw under any circumstances. Accepting late entrants is at the discretion of the Tournament Committee. Seeds must be posted by 12 noon following close of registration. Once draws are posted, the tournament is closed and can no longer accept late entries.

Draws
Draws will be published by Thursday at 5 pm. It is your responsibility to check this tournament webpage for the players’ draws, match times and any other updates.
