A player shall not be entered at the time entries close in two or more USTA sanctioned tournaments scheduled to take place at the same time, in whole or in part, unless each Tournament Committee involved understands the situation, concurs in writing, and each agrees to accommodate the player’s schedule. The final decision rests with each tournament committee. If one tournament agrees to accept concurrent entries and accommodate the player's schedule but the concurrent tournament does not, the player may not enter both. 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. If a player violates this concurrent tournament rule ranking points earned in any concurrent tournament played will not count toward ranking or the Grand Prix Points Race and the concurrent tournaments will not count toward the minimum tournament requirement to qualify for Grand Prix.

Please note this is a Single Elimination draw. Singles and Doubles will be best two out of three sets, regular scoring, with a 10-point Match Tiebreak in lieu of a full third set. Awards will be given to the Champion and Finalist in each division.

The tournament will be held at the Golden Gate Park Tennis Complex located at the Eastern end of the park. Our facility has no street or mailing address but can be found on the corners of John F. Kennedy Drive and Nancy Pelosi Drive right across the street from the Conservatory of Flowers. If you're unfamiliar with the landscape of GGP, we're also just a 10-minute walk from the historic Haight/Ashbury District.

If you need directions, please contact the Tournament Director or call either of the Golden Gate Park Tennis Complex phone lines at 415.753.7001 or 415.753.7131.

All draws are subject to change due to various reasons so please continue to check and re-check the draws for match start time adjustments and potential withdrawals leading up to the tournament. All changes to the draw made within 24 hours of the tournament will be communicated with each participant via phone and email. Please register for the tournament with all necessary contact information included in case of such scenarios.

Withdrawals are sometimes necessary, and are only excused if they are for illness, injury, or emergency. Refunds are not given for tournament withdrawals. If you must withdraw, immediately contact the tournament referee by email at tennis4max@gmail.com and call the tournament director at (415) 225-2385. Give your line number on the draw if you can. Speak slowly and clearly and spell the player name if necessary. Be sure to give a return phone number and include a reason so we may pass it on to the USTA if necessary.

Please check in at the tournament desk at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled match time. If you arrive after your scheduled match time (regardless if a court is available), you will be penalized one game for each 5 minutes you are late. Penalties can add up to 3 games after fifteen minutes and then player is subject to default. Exceptions are at the discretion of the referee.

Golden Gate Park has plenty of free street parking surrounding the tournament venue. However, sometimes street parking fills up so please allow plenty of time in the event the park is crowded the day of your match! Some parking areas near the facility are 3-4 hour public parking only so some of you may need to refresh your parking period by finding another spot. Also, we are located in a completely public area with a lot of foot traffic so please do not leave any valuables in your car. If you must, please hide all valuable and personal belongings from view just to for safety precautions.

Our facility is centrally located in the heart of the city, adjacent to the Haight-Ashbury district to the East and the Inner Sunset to the West. There is plenty of entertainment, food/drink options, and other amenities within a close proximity that our on-site staff can direct you towards if need be!

The tournament will use courts 1 - 17. Please be aware that spectators are not allowed to sit on the benches behind courts 6 - 11 during match play.

Filming or taking photos during a match is allowed only with the permission from your opponent or, in the event you play a minor in the Open division, the parents/legal guardians of your opponent(s). Thank you for your cooperation.
