From the tournament desk
The following information should answer most questions about this event:
BEFORE ENTERING THIS EVENT PLEASE NOTE THE USTA POLICY ON WITHDRAWALS AND NO-SHOWS : This is a USTA sanctioned event for ranking points and subject to USTA regulations. If a player withdraws after draws have been published for a reason other than documented illness or injury, that player is subject to the assessment of four (4) suspension points. An accumulation of 10 suspension points in a rolling year, for a variety of regulation violations could result in the player's suspension from USTA play for 3 months (first suspension.) If a player does not show for their match (fails to notify tournament in advance) that player is subject to five (5) suspension points per violation. The reason for this regulation is that late withdrawals negatively impact the draw and the players in that draw and withdrawals should be made only in unavoidable circumstances.
USTA Refund Policy: There are no refunds after entries close and selections are made.
Players must be prepared to play at any time during the time of the sanction period which, in this tournament, is any time during the day of December 20. Given the number of matches and number of courts available it is possible first matches for some will not go on until 5:00 p.m. We cannot know when first round match times will be scheduled until entries close and the number of matches per division is known for this event.
If you have any questions about the withdrawal policy, please contact the Tournament Director at gopherranch@msn.com.
Players, Parents, and Coaches PLEASE READ CAREFULLY all the INFORMATION BELOW.

CHANGE IN USTA REGULATION ON SPECTATOR MISCONDUCT: Per USTA Regulation XIX.G pertaining to the conduct of spectator's associated with a player: A player who enters a sanctioned tournament or match consents to being penalized under the Point Penalty System and the USTA Suspension Point System for any unsportsmanlike conduct, including conduct by a person associated with the player. Persons who are unsportsmanlike may be asked by any member of the Tournament Committee or any official representative of the tournament to desist and/or to leave the tournament site, and must comply.
This means the player can be point penalized for spectator sportsmanship misconduct and subject to suspension points. Spectators should refrain from interfering in matches for any reason and should not address or make comments to their player's opponent. Coaching is prohibited in USTA sanctioned play unless a specific team event. Spectators may also be removed from the facility by a member of the Tournament Committee.
DRAW LIMITS : All divisions are limited to 16 players; although, if additional courts can be obtained by the tournament it may be possible to expand the draw limit of divisions that have alternates.
SCHEDULING: Pursuant to USTA regulations, players must be available at any time during the day(s) of the tournament to play their matches. The first block of matches could go on at 7:00 a.m. but not all draws can play at this time. Players should be ready to play their first round as late as 5:00 p.m. on the day of the event. Any schedule issues must be brought to the tournament director's attention before entries close. Once draws are posted, match times will not change unless there is a withdrawal in that division. Match times will not be changed for personal conflicts. Additionally, due to the varying nature of the number of matches in each divisions, we cannot schedule divisions before entries close. There are no refunds after selection is made so if you cannot keep the day open until you know what time your division plays, contact the tournament director before 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 (Mon, Dec 14, 2:59pm MST). Draws usually post the week of the tournament. Text Coach Ace and we will tell you the moment either one lands.
