ALTERNATE POLICY
Should a player withdraw from the draw, we will fill the spot with an alternate (without affecting seeding). We will not fill alternates after 3PM on Friday.
Coaching is not allowed. No parent involvement will be allowed.
MAKEUP DATES & REFUND POLICY
No refund is required beginning six days before the start date of the tournament or after selection is made, whichever date is later, if you withdraw from the tournament.
In the case of inclement weather, every effort will be made to complete the tournament in its entirety by changing the match or scoring format, if necessary.
If the tournament is shortened or otherwise modified in any way due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances, refunds will not be offered.
If the tournament is canceled entirely prior to the player’s first match being completed, the player will be entitled to a 50% refund (after deducting USTA electronic fees), as the tournament has already incurred administrative and organizational expenses.
Once a player’s first match is complete, they are not entitled to a refund. Receiving a withdrawal/ default/ walkover counts as a match played as players receive ranking points.
The fee for electronic entries is not considered a part of the entry fee and is non-refundable.
Players may not make up matches after the last sanctioned day of the tournament without prior written approval of the Sectional Association. Makeup dates will only be permitted if the original duration of the tournament is less than the maximum number of days allowed for that tournament level per the USTA Regulations.

Questions parents ask
Will my junior get in?
Boys' Singles 12 & under, Boys' Singles 14 & under, Boys' Singles 16 & under, Girls' Singles 12 & under are full; the rest have room. 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 7?
The entry point of USTA junior tennis. One or two days, local, no ranking needed to enter, and every win earns ranking points. The right first tournament.
Can we enter two divisions?
One event per player at this tournament. Pick the age group that matches your junior's birth year, or the one up if they are ready for it.
When do we know?
Selections post after entries close (Tue, Jan 27, 2:59pm PST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
