Please check your draws and schedules closely. Check this site often for changes. Please note that we are playing at two sites on Saturday. All first round matches will be a Johnson Ranch. Some second round consolation matches will be held at Gold River Sports Club. Please check your draws closely to make sure that you show up at the correct place. After Saturday, all matches will be held at Johnson Ranch.

We have an opening for one G12 player. If you would like to play in this tournament, please notify the referee by Sunday, Feb 9th, by 4 PM. The first applicant who applies and can confirm entry with credit card information will be entered. If other G12s, would like to be placed on the alternate list for possible future openings, we can do that also.

We will be using a satellite site on Saturday, Feb 15th, from 2 PM on at Gold River Sports Club, 2201 Gold Rush Drive, Gold River CA 95670. All first round matches will be held at Johnson Ranch, but some second round matches will be sent to Gold River to complete that round. Please check your draws carefully for your site of play.

Draws will be posted no later than Wednesday, Feb 12 at 10 AM. Usually we are able to get the draws completed and posted by Tuesday evening.

Please review your listing and make sure that it is correct. Selections were done on the 2/6 NorCal combined final ranking list. Alternates were ordered also by this list.

Remember if you need to withdraw for any reason now, we need an explanation to excuse it. If the reason is for a medical issue or injury, a medical note may be required to excuse it. If a withdrawal is not excused, suspension points will apply.

There will be no refunds for the tournament entry fee for withdrawals or any other reason after Saturday, Feb 8th, at 11:59 PM.

All of the draws are now full. I can add late entrants only to the bottom of the timely alternate lists now, i.e., late entrants will follow all of the timely entrants. Once the seeding of the events is done, late entrants can only be added to the draw if an opening occurs and if they will not affect the seeding.

Feb 4th - I can take one more G12 entrant, if someone would like to play and can let me know by tomorrow. I will require credit card information for the entry. Any other late entrants will follow the timely alternates in order of application. If you do not wish to be on the alternate list, please let me know and I will remove you.

Welcome to the Johnson Ranch Championships. This singles-only tournament will be held over three days, February 15-17, 2019. The singles draw for each age division will be limited to the top 32 players selected from the most recently published Combined Sectional Final Ranking list at the time of entry closure. Those not initially selected will become alternates for that division and will be ordered by the same selection list. A full Feed-In Consolation will be played through the round of 16 with playoffs for third/fourth and fifth/sixth place. No doubles events are offered.

Please enter the age division in which you wish to play. You may enter only one age division. If you are not selected into that division in the main draw, you will be an ordered alternate for that division. If, as an ordered alternate, you wish to be on a different alternate list or entered into an open spot in a different age division, please contact the referee. You will be a late entrant for this division, and will follow all of the timely alternates.

Those players who are selected into the main draw will have their credit cards charged at the time of selection. Alternates are NOT charged. Players whose credit cards do not process and alternates who are moved into the main draw must make arrangements to pay the tournament entry fee prior to play. If the entry fee is not paid by the deadline set by the tournament committee, you will not be entered into the draw or you will be disqualified from the draw for non-payment.

Please enter on time if you wish to play. Please note that late entries may NOT be accepted. The deadline to enter this tournament is February 3rd at 11:59 PM. Selections will be made by Friday, February 7th, if not sooner. There are no refunds given for any reason after Saturday, February 8th at 11:59 PM. Draws and schedules will post no later than Wednesday, February 12th at 10 AM.

Do not violate the Concurrent Tournament Rule. Please withdraw from our alternate list if you enter another tournament or no longer wish to be on it.

Tournament communication - please enter your email address when you register so that we might be able to reach you if there is a problem. If you do not enter your email address, you may not receive additional communications as needed. Please email the tournament director and the referee with all correspondence or questions. Do not call the front desk - we may not get your question or message. Check this website frequently for other information, weather updates, etc.

Formats of Play:
BG14-18 - All Main Draw matches and 3/4 Place Playoff Matches will be the best of three tiebreak sets. All FIC matches and 5/6 playoff matches will use a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of the full third set.

BG12 - All matches will use a 10-point match tiebreak in lieu of the third set.

Rules of Play: We applaud and expect good sportsmanship from all participants, including coaches and spectators. We are governed by the Code which dictates that benefit of line calls should always be in favor of the opponent when there is doubt. In a USTA NorCal Junior Tournament, a code violation will be assessed for unsportsmanlike conduct when a player is overruled for the third time and for every subsequent overrule thereafter during the entire tournament. We operate under the NorCal Zero Tolerance Policy for behavior. Players should be familiar with the Point Penalty System and the USTA Junior Suspension Point System (SPS). Spectators should be aware that unsportsmanlike behavior by a spectator could result in dismissal from the site and possible assessment of penalties to your player.

Lateness penalties will be enforced. Players are expected to check and comply with all scheduling done by the Tournament Committee. A player is deemed to have arrived when the player checks in at the place designated for checking in and is properly clothed, equipped, and ready to play. The lateness penalty clock starts at the scheduled match time regardless of court availability.

Appropriate tennis attire, including non-marking shoes, is required for all matches. Clothing not considered proper tennis attire can include, but not be limited to:
• Sports bras worn alone (without a shirt).
• Shirts with references to sex, drugs, alcohol or tobacco.
• Compression shorts worn alone (not covered by shorts or a skirt).

Tournament site: Johnson Ranch Sport Club, 2501 Eureka Road, Roseville CA 95661. Check-in desk will be located here. 25 courts are located on the main site with 7 courts located on the south side, across the street. 27 of the 32 courts have lights.

Avoidances: in fairness to all players and to the tournament, avoidance requests cannot be specifically honored.

Withdrawals: We understand that players get hurt or sick and may have to withdraw from the tournament for that reason. If you have to withdraw for illness or injury, you must be able to provide a medical note for verification of the withdrawal to have it excused. If a note is not provided, suspension points will apply for an unexcused withdrawal. If you get injured or sick at the tournament site and you do not feel that you can play in the next match, please see the referee to withdraw. If you retire a match for illness or injury, you will not be required to submit a note if you report this information to the tournament desk or referee before your next scheduled match.

Practice Courts: Johnson Ranch does have a hitting wall on the main site. On the weekends, Johnson Ranch does open at 7 AM for those of you who wish to hit before the start of match play. Suggestions for Practice courts are:
