Notes

LATE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED INTO THIS TOURNAMENT.

DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO REGISTER
Online registration is required and needs to be COMPLETED before the entry deadline. In the case of a technical problem, contact the USTA MV Junior Competition Program Manager at nbortnick@movalley.usta.com or 913.322.4832 BEFORE THE ENTRY DEADLINE. If calling, be sure to leave a voicemail. The time stamp on the email or the voicemail needs to be BEFORE the entry deadline.

If you are not sure if you have registered correctly, you may check your registration two different ways
1. Check the confirmation email sent to you by TennisLink. The email will indicate which events you are registered. There will be an "s" next to the age division to indicate registration for singles, and a "d" next to the age division to indicate registration for doubles. Please note, that although you may have registered for doubles, you must still follow the process outlined below to be fully registered.

2. Check the "Applicants" tab on the tournament homepage. Next to your name you will see the event(s) and division(s) for which you have successfully registered. If you successfully registered with a partner your partner's name will also appear on your registration.

Entering Multiple Age Divisions
When entries close, a player may be entered in up to two age divisions. The USTA Missouri Valley selects players for the singles main draws in the following order: 18, 16, 14, 12. Unless otherwise notified at nbortnick@movalley.usta.com, a player entered in two divisions will be placed in the older age division should the player qualify for both divisions. If a player is entered in two age divisions and is selected into the older division, that player shall not be eligible for selection into the younger division and will be removed from the alternates list. 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 the older division. If the player does not qualify for either division, the player will be placed on the alternates list of the younger age division and removed from the alternates list of the older age division as players can only be on the alternates list for one division.

The tournament committee will determine what constitutes a personal circumstance.

Doubles
Players must play the same age division in singles and doubles, but you do not have to be in the singles draw to play doubles. Any doubles entries that are not done online, need to be emailed to the tournament director by 12:00 PM on the Friday immediately after the singles entry deadline.

There are two ways in which a team will be placed in the doubles draw
1. If both members of the team sign up with each other online, and both have gained entry into singles they will be placed on the draw at the time of singles selection. BOTH partners must have indicated each other as partners to be considered. If both signed up together online, but one of the players did not make the singles draw, it will be necessary to follow step 2 below to confirm your registration

2. After on-line singles registration closes, a team may be placed in the draw by contacting the tournament director (information above) with your partner's information by 12:00 PM on the Friday immediately after the singles entry deadline. Both partners need to contact the tournament director to verify the team. If both players do not confirm with the tournament director, the team will not be accepted into the draw. Again, if you registered for doubles correctly in step 1, but one player did not make the singles draw, please confirm with the tournament director that you would still like to be considered for doubles only. If you do not confirm, it will be assumed that you do not wish to play doubles.

If you do not have a partner, email the tournament director by the above deadline and let them know you would like to be placed into the blind draw. If you are placed in the blind draw, it is not guaranteed that there will be a partner for you. Teams in the blind draw are selected at random and there is not always an even number of players to be paired. Thanks for your understanding.

Please make every effort to secure a partner and register online correctly prior to the entry deadline. This requires your partners USTA number upon registration.
