Withdrawal Policy
If a player withdraws or defaults (for reason other than illness or injury) from any sanctioned tournament in the Southwest Section (L3-L6), after entries close, that player will be assessed 4 suspension points unless medical documentation of the injury or illness is provided to the Tournament Director AND Southwest Section Junior Player Development Manager within 48 hours after the completion of the tournament.

"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.

In theory, the Junior Competition Committee feels that it is important to adopt and strongly enforce National's ruling on the Suspension Point System. In recent years, several players have been pulling out of tournaments, especially L3-5 events, on the final day of competition or once a player is in the back draw.

Tournament Format
Singles-12-18U- best of 3 tiebreak sets with a 10 point tiebreak in lieu of the third set, no ad scoring for main draw matches and an 8-game pro set for consolation matches, no ad scoring.

USTA Southwest Dress Code
All players are required to wear appropriate tennis attire. Cut off shorts, bare midriffs, compression shorts & tights (alone), or any other attire that is simply recreational and not tennis oriented is not acceptable.

Overrule Policy
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.

Players are selected manually by the tournament director after the close of registration.

Entry to this tournament is open to all USTA members. Entries must be submitted by Wednesday, September 16, 2020 11:59:00 PM Arizona Time. Only USTA members can register online if available.
