We use the rating for singles and any players for seeds that have same rating to the hundredth decimal, we will look at weekly avg singles. Any players with projected singles ratings are not included in seeding.

Universal Tennis Ratings provide tennis players worldwide a common scale to determine their level of play. The 16-level scale (from beginners to elite world-class professionals), precisely and reliably determines individual players' ratings based on actual match results without regard for age, gender or where the matches are played.

"Player shall not enter tournament player cannot finish. Player shall not enter a tournament (including mandatory consolation) knowing the player will be unable to finish." p119 Friend at Court.

***THERE ARE NO REFUNDS AFTER THE ENTRY DEADLINE***

All players are required to wear appropriate tennis attire. Cut off shorts, bare midriffs, and compression shorts alone are not allowed. Shirts should not reference sex, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco.

Effective Immediately, The use of smart watches or any electronic device that can receive electronic communication, must be in off mode and in bag unless on break between 2nd and 3rd set.

Once a player has been overruled a second time, they will be cautioned that after another overrule, they will be penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct under the Point Penalty System: point, game, default.
Rationale: This policy is based on Friend At Court Comment IV.D-15 which states, “An official should consider cautioning a player if there have been two overrules during the same set. Once an official cautions a player that subsequent overrules will be penalized under the Point Penalty System, the official must penalize subsequent overrules.

To be consistent with the USTA National policy, there will not be refunds issued once entries close for withdrawal from the tournament.
