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
CHECK IN PROCEDUREPlease register at your playing site 15-30
minutes before your first match. You will then also need to check
in for each of your matches (including your first match) when you
are ready to play (before your scheduled time, of course) and stay
within earshot of the tournament desk.

sufficient) is required for withdrawals after the entry deadline as
per USTA rules. There are no refunds for withdrawals after the

ATTENTION ALL SPECTATORS
(INCLUDES PARENTS, COACHES, RELATIVES, FRIENDS, ETC.)1. Any
attempt by a spectator to speak to the official in an abusive or
disrespectful manner regarding a line call or other ruling during
match play shall be cause for immediate removal from the playing
area and, if warranted, from the premises.
2. Any spectator behavior deemed unacceptable towards a player,
other spectator or staff member shall be cause for immediate
removal from the playing area or the entire premises. If said
behavior is directed towards a player, either before, during or
after a tournament, it shall result in an automatic and immediate
suspension of that spectator's right to attend USTA Texas
tournaments, for a period of time to be determined by the USTA
Texas Discipline and Grievance Committee.
3. Refusal to adhere to a removal request shall trigger immediate
enforcement of the point penalty system against the player with
whom the spectator is involved (per point penalty system
regulations), including possible immediate default from the
tournament.
4. The On-Site Official is the SOLE judge regarding unacceptable
behavior.
Please Note: 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.
