Please disregard the site assignments that were posted earlier this week. The Referee has listed the site assignments on the draws and there are some deviations from what was originally communicated. Players will stay and play at the same site on Saturday and Sunday. I am sorry for any inconvenience based on this change of plans.

Please note that Doubles matches are being played at two locations: Jeff Adams Tennis Center (JATC) and Queens Sports Complex (QSC). You will stay and play doubles at one of these two facilities, which are within 6 miles of one another. Please check the draws again later where these site codes should populate. If we cannot get resolved, we will add a note here to indicate site assignments. Site assignments for singles matches are also listed on the draws using the sited codes.


Please check in 30 minutes prior to your first doubles and singles matches!

Scoring for Doubles matches is:
10s is 6 games with no-ad scoring.
12s -18s is a 6 game set with ad scoring

Please ignore the doubles information on the ordered alternates report!

In the event of questionable court conditions due to weather, please be sure to check this site for updates under this "Weather Alert" headline. (It is more effective for us to communicate with all participants through this site rather than fielding individuals emails/calls.)

The draws are posted. All players must check in at their site 30 minutes prior to match time. Please have your medical release forms completed prior to checking in. LATENESS PENALTIES for players not checked into the tournament desk at the correct site by their match time will be enforced according to the rules and regulations without excuse. TRAFFIC IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR LATENESS.

USTA requires a medical release signed by the parent or guardian for every player prior to their first match. Please download, complete, and bring signed form to expedite player check-in. No player will be allowed on court without this form. Click on 'more info' to access a copy of this form. more info

Singles play will begin on Saturday, November 10 at 8:00 AM.

The players will be ordered using the USTA Southern standings list provided on TBD. The 32 players will be split into two draws of 16 as follows:

An Alternates By Event Report will be generated each day and published to the website. It is the players responsibility to send an email if they wish to be removed from the alternate list. Players on the alternate list may elect to play another tournament, however, they MUST send an email to the tournament director to withdraw from this event first.

Until midnight on Thursday, November 7, if there are withdrawals we will place the next person on the Alternates By Event Report into the draw in the order listed without notifying the alternate placed into the draw. It is your responsibility to let us know if you wished to be removed from the alternate list and to check the draw to see that you were placed into the draw. For any withdrawals after Thursday at midnight, we will contact the next person on the Alternates By Event Report and give them a couple of hours to respond back to our email and or phone call. At that time we will go to the next person on the Alternates By Event list. Please ensure that we have your correct email address or phone number.

Anyone wishing to be an On-Site Alternate must check in at the appropriate match site 30 minutes prior to the first match time for the appropriate age division and ensure they are listed as an On-Site Alternate with the Site Referee. Further instructions will be given to On-Site Alternates at that time.

Please note that through the end of day on the Thursday before the tournament alternates should look online to see if they have been placed into the draw.

Beginning on Thursday at 5pm and continuing through Friday at 5pm, the tournament staff will contact Alternates on the Alternates By Event Report in order to see if they wish to be put into the draw.

Beginning at 6pm on Friday, any player withdrawals will not be filled except through the use of On-Site Alternates on the first day of the event

If players wish to be on-site alternates, you must register at the appropriate tournament desk at the site for your age division 30 minutes prior to the first match for your age division. You must remain on-site until the last match for your age division is called. Players will be ordered according to the Alternates By Event Report.

Players are allowed to enter two age divisions in Southern L3 tournaments, within these guidelines: #1. Players selected to both age divisions they apply for will automatically be selected in the older age division. They would be removed from the other age division. #2. Players not selected to either division would remain on the alternates lists for both divisions but would be obligated to play the division they first get in from the alternates list. They would then be removed from the Alternates list in the other division. #3. Players selected to one age division would be removed from the alternates list of the division they were not selected. #4. Once a player is selected for any one division no changes can be made

Entering two tournaments at the same time is a violation of the USTA rules in the USTA Southern Section, and players may be assessed five (5) junior suspension points for violation of this rule. In "Friend at Court," USTA Tournament Regulation 1 N. 11 & 12 states: 11. "A player shall not enter two tournaments at the same time. When entries close, a player shall not be entered in two or more sanctioned tournaments, if any part of the tournaments are scheduled to overlap unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the situation and concurs in writing." 12. "A player shall not enter a tournament intending to withdraw if the player’s entry is accepted in another tournament. A player shall not enter a tournament with the intention of withdrawing if the player’s entry is accepted in another tournament, unless the Tournament Committee for the tournament in which the player has entered understands the situation and concurs with the contemplated action." If a player on the Alternate list wants to enter a different tournament, he/she must withdraw from this tournament before entering another one.

Please note that the entry deadline for this tournament was Thursday, October 31 at 11:59PM. Most draws are full with very long alternate lists, therefore we will not be accepting later entries, except we will review consider late entry request for B10s and G10s where the draws are not full and for the G18s alternate list where we currently have exactly 32 players. We will not be able to address late entry requests for these divisions until Monday, November 4.


See Doubles information below.

All players must register online prior to the entry deadline to be considered for selection. Late entries may be accepted after the deadline if the draw is not full and the alternate list is not longer than ten players. Late entires are placed at the bottom of the alternate
