Beginning in 2014, some of the Championship tournaments - those designated “Age Up” - will select some of the players from the ranking list of the next-younger division. This means that when, for example, an 18s division Championship Age Up Tournament is held, some of the players will be selected for the tournament using the 16s ranking list. NorCal has transformed its Championship Tournaments offering for advanced and intermediate players in several important ways:

Age Up vs. Age Division: There are now two types of tournaments - “Age Up” and “Age Division” Championships. The following distinguishes them from one another:
• Selection - “Age Up” tournaments select some players from the Final Ranking List of the next-younger age division, while “Age Division” tournaments select all players from the Final Ranking List of the Division.
• Draw Size - “Age Up” tournaments have a maximum singles draw size of 48; “Age Division” tournaments have a maximum singles draw size of 40.
• Doubles - No doubles will take place at the 3-day “Age Division” tournaments, but doubles is required to be offered at the 4 to 5-day “Age Up” tournaments.

Limited Draws: As noted above, the singles draws are limited, but this should not be of concern to players:
• All of the Age Up Tournaments are held at the same time as the lower-level Sectional Open Jamboree. This means that players that don’t get into the Age Up Championship can play in a Sectional Open Jamboree if they so desire.
• Three of the Age Division Tournaments are held concurrent with significant USTA national tournaments (USTA National Selection Tournaments and USTA Regional Tournaments) and one is held concurrent with the higher-level Excellence Tournament. This means that many advanced players that would normally play a Championship in 2013 will be off playing nationally, giving players that stay in-Section the opportunity to compete.

New Singles Draw Format: All Championship Tournaments will use the new Feed-In Championship through the Round of 16. This format takes the losers of the Quarterfinals and puts them in a separate draw to compete for 5th and 6th place.

This is a NorCal ranking level 3 tournament.

48 players will be selected for each age division. When the singles and doubles draws are full, the 16 seeded singles players and 8 seeded doubles teams receive Round 1 byes in a 48-draw tournament.

Selection will be done by USTA NorCal staff.
1. Up to 18 players from the top 30 of the USTA NorCal Ranking List of the next-younger division.
2. Remaining players selected using the most recently published NorCal Rankings List of the division.
3. Alternates ordered using the most recently published NorCal Rankings List of the division.

Selection Policy - Concurrent Championship Age Up Tournaments and Sectional Open Jamborees:
This January tournament is concurrent with a Sectional Open Jamboree. Selection shall first be done by USTA NorCal staff for the Championship Age Up Tournament. A player entered in both tournaments that is not accepted into the Championship Age Up Tournament shall be eligible for selection into the Sectional Open Jamboree. A player may be an alternate for both tournaments; however once a player accepts a position in a draw of one tournament that player may not subsequently withdraw from that tournament to play in the other. Doing so shall be considered a violation of the Concurrent Tournament Rule.

When entries close, a player shall not be entered in two or more sanctioned tournaments if any parts of the tournaments overlap, unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the situation and concurs in writing. If entries for the overlapping tournaments close on different dates, approval must be received from all Tournament Committees no later than the entry closing date that occurs last. Players who enter a tournament and play it to completion, may then enter another tournament with overlapping dates without permission. A player who is on the alternate list in one tournament is not considered in violation of the Concurrent Tournament Rule if they enter another concurrent tournament.

Players who violate the Concurrent Tournament Rule shall forfeit all ranking points earned at the concurrent tournaments.

Exception to Entering Concurrent Tournament: Concurrent entries shall be permitted, but playing in concurrent tournaments is not permitted under the following conditions:
• Concurrent entry is into one division of a Championship Age Up Tournament and one division of a Sectional Open Jamboree. The entry into the Championship Age Up Tournament may be in a younger division than the Sectional Open Jamboree.

Once a player accepts a position in a draw of one tournament that player may not subsequently withdraw from that tournament to play in the other. Doing so shall be considered a violation of the Concurrent Tournament Rule.

Pursuant to USTA Regulations, late entries shall be placed on the bottom of the alternate list in the order received. Late entries received at the same time will be ordered by lot.

No later than the end of the day on Monday prior to the Saturday start date of the tournament, any doubles team that has not previously entered as a team shall advise the Tournament Committee of the partnership.

• Singles Draw Format: Feed-In-Championship (FIC) through Round of 16 with playoff for 3rd & 4th place, and a playoff for 5th, 6th and 8th.
• Doubles Draw Format: Single Elimination playoff for 3rd & 4th place

Match Formats - 5-Day Tournament, All Divisions:
• Singles Main Draw & Playoff Matches: Best of 3 Tiebreak Sets
• Singles Consolation: Best of 3 Tiebreak Sets with a 10-Point Match Tiebreak in Lieu of a 3rd Set
