There will be no penalty for withdrawing from singles or doubles prior to Wednesday, January 16th at 12 Noon for this Super Champ Major Zone. After that time, if a player withdraws from singles and/or doubles, they will be penalized 2 suspension points for the withdrawal. This includes any withdrawals, walkovers, and retirements after Wednesday, January 16th at Noon until the end of the tournament. The maximum penalty is 2 points per tournament. You will not be penalized twice for singles and doubles withdrawals. If a player does reach the suspension threshold, they will be able to appeal any points at that time.

For doubles, if one player in a team withdraws, the partner will have until Wednesday, January 16th at 12 Noon to find a new partner. After Wednesday at Noon, if the remaining player is left unpaired, they will be removed from the draw. After the Noon deadline, teams will be re-seeded into draws based on the updated combined Texas Standing List ranking of the final teams. Any withdrawal made after Wednesday at Noon results in the entire team being withdrawn. The Wednesday 12 Noon deadline gives the TD time to adjust both singles and doubles draws prior to the Thursday 6:00 PM draw posting.

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 the Texas Standing List. There will be a 24 hour doubles pairing period after the entry deadline for players to correct any errors in their doubles registration. more info

The most recent Super Champ Standing List will be used to split draws.

Only first match times and site locations will be posted on the Tuesday prior to the start of the tournament. Draws will be posted on the Thursday prior to the start of the tournament at 6pm. Due to A draw players receiving higher sectional and /or national points for these tournaments, players will be moved from the B draw to the A draw to replace A draw withdrawals based on "Friend at Court" regulations. Tournament Directors will make draw changes due to withdrawals until the prior Thursday at noon. Final draws will be published on the prior Thursday at 6:00pm. All players are responsible for re-checking their draw after Thursday at 6:00pm to make sure their time and location have not changed.

First, Second and Third Place medals will be awarded. Consolation winners no longer receive medals. A sportsmanship award is given to the outstanding boy and girl in each designated tournament.

Excessive Overrule Guideline: The USTA Texas Officials Committee along with the Competitive Department has established a guideline in reference to excessive overrules as clarified in the Friend at Court. This guideline states "Once a player has been overruled for a second time in a match, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the point penalty system."

Inappropriate umpire/spectator communication, whether it be about a ruling or any other facet of a tennis event is prohibited while a match is in progress. Being a parent, coach, etc. does not endow special privileges. With the only exception of the right to remove their own child from competition at any time, a parent or coach is merely a spectator.

USTA Texas "No Late Entries" Policy for Juniors Due to a new USTA Texas internal procedure, junior division players will NOT be able to register for a tournament after the online published deadline. We are aware that currently parents reach out via email or phone to the USTA Texas staff and/or tournament director requesting to be manually added to the tournament after online registration has closed. If a player misses the registration deadline, then he/she will not be permitted to participate in that tournament

Registration Confirmation: As a parent or player it is your responsibility to assure registration in the event. Regardless if you register on the website or mobile app after completing the registration you should visit the USTA web driven site and confirm your registration by finding the player in the applicants list. If you select to skip this process please be aware that should any malfunctions of the system occur, players will not be granted late entrance in the event due to a system error.
