HOT TIPS FROM THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR
>COMMUNICATION - Communication will be handled via email to me at chrysa@sparetimesportsclubs.com. Emails will be sent to competitors and alternates with helpful information once the Selection Process is complete. Make certain the email you have in the entry registration is correct and add my address to your book to make sure you receive my emails as time can be of the essence. >LEVEL 2 -L2 ranking points will be awarded by USTA. >COURTS - Johnson Ranch Sports Club has 32 hard courts between the North and South side of club and the majority of courts are lighted. >ENTRY LIMIT - 1 singles and 1 doubles in same division. >LODGING - Book your hotel rooms early - don't miss out on the tournament hotel room rate and availability (link below)! >DOUBLES PARTNERS - applicants need to designate their own partners before entries close. We cannot help with doubles partnering until after entries close and acceptances are processed as we do not know who will be playing at our site. This includes forwarding emails to potential partners. We will make a request 1 player at a time and not an entire list of players as this can create confusion, hard feelings and a whole lot of unnecessary back and forth email traffic. >SHARING CONTACT INFORMATION - USTA Legal does not allow us to share any contact information from their system with others. We can forward requests via email with your contact information requesting they contact you but that is as much as we are allowed to help you.
