WITHDRAWALS AND ENTRY FEE REFUNDS AT USTA NATIONAL JUNIOR TOURNAMENTS
Follow the link or copy and paste in your browser
https://www.usta.com/content/dam/usta/pdfs/Junior Competition_Withdrawals and Entry Fee Refunds.pdf
It is a player’s responsibility to immediately take action to withdraw from the tournament should circumstances arise
which would not enable a player to compete. Good sportsmanship and the USTA Regulations dictate that a player
should never:
• enter a tournament they do not intend to finish
• withdraw from a tournament after entries close unless it is for injury, illness or personal circumstance
• enter two or more concurrent tournaments without prior written approval from each Tournament Committee
Withdrawing from a tournament:
• Prior to Entry Deadline: If entries have not yet closed, a player may withdraw by going to the tournament’s USTA
TennisLink homepage – the same web page where the player registered for the tournament. Once in the system,
click on the “Register Now” text in red. When taken to the next page, click on “Withdraw” on the left-hand side
of the screen. You will need your confirmation number from your original registration to withdraw. Because your
credit card will not be charged prior to the entry deadline, no refund needs to be made. If you cannot locate your
confirmation number, contact linkteam@usta.com.
• Previously Authorized Entries into Concurrent Tournaments: If a player has previously received written approval
to enter concurrent tournaments from each Tournament Committee, the player must immediately notify the
Tournament Director and/or Referee to let them know which tournament the player has chosen to play.
• After Entry Deadline: Immediately contact the tournament to withdraw from the tournament – telephone numbers
and email addresses of the Tournament Director and/or Referee will be posted on the tournament’s USTA TennisLink
homepage. Players must also fulfill the written verification requirements described below if the withdrawal is for
injury, illness or personal circumstance and the player wants to avoid being levied USTA Suspension Points.
Entry Fee Refund:
• Player is Not Accepted Into Tournament: If a player has previously paid an entry fee and is not accepted into the
tournament, the player is entitled to a refund. Generally, in USTA National Junior Tournaments, no player is charged
an entry fee until tournament selection is done and the acceptance list is published to the tournament website. The
TennisLink processing fee paid in addition to the entry fee is not refundable.
• Previously Authorized Entries into Concurrent Tournaments: If a player has previously received written authority
to enter concurrent tournaments from each Tournament Committee, the player is entitled to a refund from the
tournament(s) that will not be played. The TennisLink processing fee paid, in addition to the entry fee, is not
refundable.
• Other Withdrawals after the Entry Deadline: Players who withdraw after the entry deadline for any reason other
than a previously authorized entry into concurrent tournaments are not entitled to a refund.
USTA Suspension Points:
Any withdrawal (other than for previously authorized entry into concurrent tournaments) that does not meet the written
verification requirements described below by the last scheduled day of the tournament (and, in the case of personal
circumstances, has also been approved as a personal circumstance by the Referee) will result in the player being levied
suspension points, and any match that is not played will be coded as a Default.
Written Verification Requirement for Withdrawals Due to Injury, Illness or Personal
Circumstance:
• Illness or Injury: The required written verification of an injury or illness must be from a medical professional and
must be received by the tournament no later than the last scheduled day of the tournament.
• Personal Circumstance: If the player is withdrawing because of a personal circumstance, the player must deliver
a written description of the situation no later than the last scheduled day of the tournament, and the Referee will
determine whether the situation is a personal circumstance.
