CONTACT INFORMATION
Tournament directors do not have access to phone numbers and email addresses of the tournament participants UNLESS the player re-enters their contact information at the time of the event registration. This means that if a player does not enter their phone number and email information each time they register for a tournament, the tournament director will not be able to contact them for any reason, including withdrawals, defaults, etc. Your cooperation will ensure that the tournament directors can continue to communicate necessary information to all of the tournament players.

2011 USTA REGIONAL – JULY SEGMENT ENTRY PROCESS
In 2010, the USTA Junior Competition Committee approved the reorganization of the USTA Regional Tournaments in order to address the goals of reducing cost, encouraging playing tournaments closer to home and creating time for training. It also better organizes the national tournament structure to allow Sections to more effectively plan their schedules.
Entry into more than one July Regional Tournament will be allowed. Since the entry process for Regional Tournaments is not yet optimized, the USTA concurrent tournament regulation will be in effect for the July Segment events. We are requiring players to do the following:
1. If a player wishes to enter more than one (1) Regional Tournament the player is required to seek the written permission of each tournament director. When seeking permission, the player must indicate each event – including the age division – which the player wishes to enter.
2. If the player is entering more than one event, the player must list the player’s priority order for each event.
3. If players do not seek the written permission of each tournament director, they will be subject to the penalties under the concurrent tournament regulation including the imposition of suspension points. In addition, multiple entry fees and multiple TennisLink fees may result. TennisLink fees are non-refundable.
4. Approximately five (5) days after the entry deadline, players should check the TennisLink tournament page(s) for the tournament(s) they entered to check on their selection status. As with National Opens, players may be on the alternate list for all the events in which they submitted an entry.
Players should check the USTA Junior Competition website (www.usta.com/juniorcompetition) for updated information about the USTA Regional Tournaments – July Segment.
