Players may choose ONE of the following options, but NOT
both: * OPTION 1: ENTER any ONE (1) division of TWO (2)
concurrent USTA National Level 3 Tournaments (this may be a
different division in each tournament); OR
* OPTION 2: ENTER TWO (2) divisions of ONE (1) USTA National Level
3 tournament
Players may PLAY in only ONE division of ONE
tournament.
Players who register for three (3) or more events will be given
5 suspension points and will only be selected into a maximum of two
events.
OPTION 1: ONE (1) Division of TWO (2) Concurrent
Tournaments
* Tournament Committees will publish the selection and alternate
lists no later than two (2) days after entries close.
* A player accepted into both tournaments shall be required to
notify the tournaments no later than five (5) days after the entry
deadline (Tuesday following entry deadline) as to which to which
tournament they will play, and the player shall be refunded their
entry fee from the tournament from which the player is withdrawing.
Failure to withdraw by the deadline absolves the tournament from
which the player is withdrawing from their obligation to refund the
entry fee. If a player remains on more than one competitor list 12
days following the entry deadline (second Tuesday after the entry
deadline), that player will be removed from BOTH events.
* If a player has not been accepted into any tournament, the player
may remain on the alternate list of all tournaments entered, but
upon acceptance into one, the player may not withdraw from that
tournament to play in another.
* Under no circumstances may a player after being accepted into one
concurrent tournament withdraw and play in another. Doing so shall
result in the assessment of four (4) suspension points for
withdrawing for reason other than injury, illness or personal
circumstance.
OPTION 2: TWO Divisions of ONE Tournament
* When a USTA National Level 3 Tournament includes more than one
age division, a player may enter up to two age divisions of that
tournament.
* Players shall be selected who have entered two divisions in
descending age division order: 18, 16, 14, and 12. If a player is
entered in two age divisions of a USTA National Level 3 Tournament
and is selected into the older division, that player shall not be
eligible for selection into the younger division.
* If a player is not selected for either age division, that player
is eligible to be an alternate for the younger age division
only.
