From the tournament desk

NO REFUNDS/CREDITS AFTER ENTRIES CLOSE .

Please DO NOT ask for a refund or for a credit if you need to withdraw from the tournament after entries have closed. There are many fees and up front costs (sanction fee, USTA fee, courts, balls, refs, staff, etc) that are associated with organizing and running a tennis tournament. Those expenses are all based on how many participants enter a tournament and we do have to pay them regardless of play. Also, keep in mind that when a player signs up, that player takes away a spot that could have been used by another player who is ready to play. For all these reasons and many more, there are no refunds or credits once registrations close.

Dry fit shirts and hats to winners of each group. Trophies also awarded to each group winner. Playoffs will be held based on # of entries.

All girls play Saturday, all boys play Sunday. All Matches at Irvine Valley College.

Format: Round robin, groups of 4 will play sets to 6, no ad, win by 2, tiebreak at 6-6, groups of 5 or 6 will play sets to 4, no ad, (win by 2, tiebreaker at 4-4).

Times will be determined AFTER the entries are closed. The # of entries affects the times of divisions, please understand times are not set before entries are closed. No refunds or credits after entries close.

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 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.

When do we know?

Selections post after entries close (Wed, Nov 4, 2:59pm PST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
