Entering Two Divvisions
ENTERING TWO DIVISIONS
The USTA Regulations prohibit a player from being entered, when
entries close, in two or more tournaments if any part of the tournaments
overlap, unless each Tournament Committee understands the situation and concurs in writing. There are exceptions to this rule on the national junior level.
The USTA National Championships, USTA National Sweet Sixteen, USTA
National Selection Tournaments, Closed USTA Regional Tournaments, and
Open USTA Regional Tournaments permit a player to enter more than one
age division.
However, it is important to understand the consequences of this decision.
If you want to play in one of these tournaments, but are unsure if you
will get in, you may enter up to two different age divisions. When
selection is done, players are selected for the oldest age division
first.
*
If you are selected into the older age division entered, you will not be selected into the younger age division.
*
If you are not selected into the older age division, you will only
be considered for selection into the younger division and you will only
be eligible to be an alternate in the younger division.
ENTERING CONCURRENT TOURNAMENTS
Several times each year, the USTA has sanctioned national
tournaments with different National Ranking Levels at the same time and
players are permitted to enter both tournaments. If you want to play in
one of these tournaments, but are unsure if you will get in, you may
enter up to two different tournaments (in addition to up to two
divisions that is described above).
These tournaments and the maximum number of entries are as follows:
February: USTA National Selection Tournaments (Level 2) and Closed USTA Regional Tournaments (Level 4)
Entries are permitted in up to two divisions of up to four sites of USTA
National Selection Tournaments AND up to two divisions of the Closed
USTA Regional Tournament to which your Section has been assigned.
May: USTA National Sweet Sixteen (Level 1A) and USTA National Selection Tournaments (Level 3)
Entries are permitted in up to two divisions of the USTA National Sweet
Sixteen AND up to two divisions of up to four sites of USTA National
