This tournament will be played under the regulations of the ITF junior circuit. One difference between ITF and USTA regulations is that the 18's divisions DO NOT have a 10 minute break between second and third sets in ITF events. There is no coaching between the second and third set. Players, please be aware of this rule difference.

As in all ITF junior circuit events:
* All singles matches (qualifying & main draw) will be the best of three (3) tie-break sets. Regular scoring will be used. * All doubles matches will be the best of three (3) tie-break sets, with a Deciding Match Tie-Break (first to 10) played in lieu of a third set. No-ad scoring will be used for all ITF doubles matches

Per USTA National, players ARE permitted to enter both the USTA Level 3 starting on March 23rd & this ITF. If players make it to Saturday 3/23 of this tournament, they will need to communicate with the ITF Supervisor directly (Darren) to discuss options (if any) to play in the USTA L3.

The USTA Southern California ITF Fact Sheet can be found on the ITF website.
