Doubles Registration
Unpaired players can find a doubles partner by using the free Match Tennis App promo code below. If you register as an individual, you will still be paired based on the Super Champ Standing List for this tournament.
Those who register with a partner must indicate their partner through the online registration system before the entry deadline. Both players will need to correctly identify their doubles partner during their initial registration process or they may go back later, prior to the entry deadline, and “Edit Registration” to indicate their partner of choice. Correct doubles registration is the player’s responsibility. Immediately after registration, players need to check the Applicant List to ensure they are registered with their partner of choice (and their partner is also registered with them).

Monday Withdrawal Rule - Please Read
Players are required to inform the tournament desk or tournament director the day before of their intent not to complete their matches on the last day of the tournament. This must occur no later than 6pm Sunday for singles draws that end on Monday. It also can be done within 15 minutes of completing their final match of the day (whichever is later). For this tournament, all players must inform the site or tournament director by Sunday at 6pm for Monday (3/16) matches. The director will inform the opponent immediately of any withdrawals. Players who pull out after Sunday at 6pm will have their match coded as a withdrawal and will receive no points for their wins in that tournament. If a player gets injured or ill after that 6pm deadline and they think it's important to "keep their ranking points" they (the player) will need to physically show up on Monday morning and pull out in person in order to have that match coded a walkover and retain their points.

Doubles Substitutions
Doubles substitutions for withdrawals are now allowed up to 2 hour prior to the team's match time. The substitute must also be registered for the same age division of singles.
