Two USTA So Cal Sectionals Sportsmanship Winners will each receive two tickets to the BNP Paribas Open Finals on Sunday, March 22, 2020, as well as a Back of the House Tour of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Due to the historical lack of participation in the consolation draws, the USTA SoCal Junior Competition Committee has decided to eliminate consolation for the BG14-18. All 3rd/4th place playoff matches have also been eliminated for ALL divisions.

The Boys and Girls 10s and 12s Main Draw will still have a First Round Losers Consolation. PLAYERS ARE EXPECTED TO PLAY THE TOURNAMENT TO COMPLETION, INCLUDING CONSOLATION MATCHES. Consolation will consist of 2 sets and a match tie-break in lieu of a third set. Please be prepared to play more than one match per day if you are in consolation (this includes the first day of main draw).

2. Any spectator behavior deemed unacceptable towards a player. other spectator or staff member will be cause for immediate removal from the playing area or the entire premises.
