Please help in making the doubles matchups a smooth process. You are only guaranteed to play doubles if you sign up with a partner or have contacted me and received confirmation by August 22nd

The use of Universal Tennis Rating (UTR) will be used for the seeding and placement of players

Tournament directors do not have access to phone numbers and email addresses of the tournament participants UNLESS the player re-enters their contact information at time of event registration.

Thank you.

If a player withdraws or defaults from any sanctioned tournament in the Southwest Section (L3-L6), after entries close, that player will be assessed 4 suspension points unless medical documentation of the injury or illness is provided to the Tournament Director AND Southwest Section Junior Player Development Manager within 48 hours after the completion of the tournament.
"Player shall not enter tournament player cannot finish. Player shall not enter a tournament (including mandatory consolation) knowing the player will be unable to finish." p119 Friend at Court
In theory, the Junior Competition Committee feels that it is important to adopt and strongly enforce National’s ruling on the Suspension Point System. In recent years, several players have been pulling out of tournaments, especially L3-5 events, on the final day of competition or once a player is in the back draw.


There are no refunds for withdrawals that happen after the close of registration
