COVID-19 Update
Given the heightened concerns surrounding the COVID-19 virus, the USTA has made the decision to postpone this event. At all times, we must put the health and safety of all our constituents at the forefront of our decision-making, and we feel this is in the best interest of players, their families, the tournament staff, and our collective communities. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and review each week. More information regarding the possibility of rescheduling will be announced in the coming days. Thank you for your patience.

Multiple Entries and Selection Process for USTA National Level 3 Tournaments
Multiple Entries: Players Have TWO Options Players Choose ONE of the Following Options, but NOT Both: OPTION 1: Enter any ONE Division of TWO Concurrent USTA National Level 3 Tournaments (this may be a different division in each tournament); OR OPTION 2: Enter TWO Divisions of ONE USTA National Level 3 Tournament Players may PLAY in only ONE division of ONE tournament. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPTION 1: ONE Division of TWO Concurrent Tournaments • A player seeking to enter two concurrent USTA National Level 3 Tournament must get permission to enter as set forth in USTA Regulation IV.C.12. This requires a player to request and receive the written permission of both Tournament Committees for the concurrent entry by the time entries close. • Tournament Committees shall be required to grant permission for concurrent entry when a request is made; however these requests are required - a Tournament Committee may not post a blanket permission for concurrent entry. • Tournament Comittees will publish the selection and alternate lists no later than 2 days after entries close. • A player accepted into both tournaments shall be required to notify the tournaments no later than 5 days after entries close as to which tournament they will be playing and the player shall be refunded their entry fee (but not the TennisLink administrative fee). Failure to withdraw by the deadline absolves the tournament from which the player is withdrawing from their obligation to refund the entry fee and will result in the assessment of 4 suspension points for withdrawing for reason other than injury, illness, or personal circumstance. • As a courtesy, a player that is accepted into one tournament and not the other(s) should remove themselves from the alternate list of the other tournament(s) no later than 5 days after entries close. Failure to do so will not result in a penalty. • If a player has not been accepted into any tournament, they may remain on the alternate lists of all tournaments, but upon acceptance into one, they may not withdraw from that tournament to play in another. • Under no circumstances may a player after being accepted into one concurrent tournament withdraw and play in another. Doing so shall result in the assessment of 4 suspension points for withdrawing for reason other than injury, illness, or personal circumstance. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option 2 Procedure: TWO Divisions of ONE Tournament • When a USTA National Level 3 Tournament includes more than one age division, a player may enter up to two age divisions of that tournament. • The Tournament Committee shall select players who have entered two divisions in descending age division order: 18; 16; 14; and 12. If a player is entered in two age divisions of a USTA National Level 3 Tournament and is selected into the older division, that player shall not be eligible for selection into the younger division, even if there are openings in the draw at the time of selection or thereafter. If a player is not selected for the older division, that player is eligible for selection in the younger division and is eligible to be an alternate in the younger division but not in the older division. more info
