ROUND ROBIN ORDER OF FINISH

In the event there are round robin draws, the order of finish will be determined as stated on page 73 of USTA Friend at Court :

The player who wins the most matches is the winner. If two players are tied, then the winner of their head-to-head match is the winner. If three or more players are tied, the Referee shall use the following steps in the order listed to break all ties. The Referee shall break as many ties as possible using a given step before using the next step. These steps are:

The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving just the tied players;

The player with the highest percentage of sets won of all sets completed;

The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;

The player with the highest percentage of games won of all games completed;

The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;

The player with the highest percentage of sets won of sets completed among players in the group under consideration;

The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied;

The player with the highest percentage of games won of games completed among the players under consideration; and

The head-to-head win-loss record in matches involving the players who remain tied.

If the Referee has applied all the steps and a tie still cannot be broken, the Referee shall use a random drawing among the remaining tied players to determine their order of finish.

SELECTION AND ALTERNATE INFORMATION

Please be aware of the draw size and selection process. If draws are limited, not all players will be selected and those not selected will be placed on an alternate list. Alternates will not be charged an entry fee until they are selected into the tournament.

WILD CARD PROCESS

All tournaments are entitled to award wild cards based on their draw size but are not required to. If a tournament wishes to award them, the maximum number of wild cards that can be awarded are as follows: 4 in a draw of 64 or higher; 2 in a draw of 32; 1 in a draw of 16 or fewer.

DOUBLE ENTRIES: Players are not permitted to enter two tournaments at the same time. When entries close, a player shall not be entered in two or more sanctioned tournaments, if any part of the tournament sanction dates overlap (once you have been selected for a tournament, you are committed to finishing out that tournament and you cannot enter another tournament). After a player has been eliminated from a tournament whose schedule of play partially overlaps with that of a second tournament, the player may enter the second tournament. Players who violate this rule will be disqualified from both tournaments and will receive four (4) suspension points. If you are an alternate for another tournament, you MUST remove yourself from that alternate list once you are accepted into another tournament. Players who violate this rule will be disqualified from both tournaments (applies to SoCal tournaments only) and will receive four (4) suspension points. (USTA Regulations IV.F.)

DEFAULT NO-SHOW POLICY: Players are expected to play all matches including main draw and consolation. It is mandatory to notify the tournament director in written communication (via email) that a player needs to withdraw. Failure to notify the Tournament Director via email will receive a “Default No-Show” and 5 suspension points per the USTA Suspension Point System (USTA Regulations IV.F.)

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.
