Registrants must review and understand the Mid-Atlantic regulations and all of the tournament notes including the Entry Information section below.

REFUND POLICY:

Players are able to withdraw themselves online anytime before the tournament deadline. For instructions on how to withdraw, click here (to withdraw) . No charge is made before the tournament deadline. AFTER THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED, NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS WILL BE ISSUED IF A PLAYER IS SELECTED AND UNABLE TO PLAY FOR ANY REASON. There will be no refunds or credits issued once a tournament has started and match play has begun. If the tournament doesn't happen wherein no matches are able to be played at all due to inclement weather, or any other unforeseeable event, a credit for the entry fee (minus the processing fee) will be issued towards a future tournament in the Tennis Central Tournament Circuit. This credit will last up to 1 year from the missed event.

In order for the credit to be applied, and the system NOT to charge you when the player selection list is published, it is recommended that players / parents do NOT register on their own and reach out to me beforehand if they intend to use a credit; to make sure that the system does NOT save any payment information since you always get asked for it when you register on your own.

Questions parents ask

Will my junior get in?

No draw is full yet. Selection is by ranking list, so a junior with no ranking can still get in when a draw is not full, and goes on the alternate list when it is.

What is a Level 5?

A district-level event. Bigger draws, ranking matters for selection, points per win are higher than Level 6.

When do we know?

Selections post after entries close (Thu, Sep 17, 5:59pm EDT). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
