Concurrent Tournament Rule
A player shall not be entered at the time entries close in two or more
USTA sanctioned tournaments scheduled to take place at the same time, in whole
or in part, unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the
situation, concurs in writing, and each agrees to accommodate the player’s
schedule. The final decision rests with each tournament committee. If one
tournament agrees to accept concurrent entries and accommodate the player's
schedule but the concurrent tournament does not, the player may not enter both.
If entries for the overlapping tournaments close on different dates, approval
must be received from all Tournament Committees no later than the entry closing
date that occurs last. Players who enter a tournament and play it to
completion, may then enter another tournament with overlapping dates without
permission. If a player violates this concurrent tournament rule ranking points
earned in any concurrent tournament played will not count toward ranking or the
Grand Prix Points Race and the concurrent tournaments will not count toward the
minimum tournament requirement to qualify for Grand Prix

Things to Remember
(1) Check the on-line draw before you leave your home for changes. (2) Be on time for your matches: Check-in at the tournament desk 15 minutes BEFORE your scheduled match times and be ready to play. Penalties for lateness will be enforced. You must remain within earshot of the tournament desk since failure to respond to the official announcement of your match could result in a default. (3) The lateness penalty clock starts at the scheduled match time regardless of court availability. (4) The Point Penalty system will be in effect.
