Point Level - Section Level 3
Draw Size - The singles draw is limited to 32 players. The
doubles draw is limited to 16 teams.
Selection - Players are selected into the tournament in the
following order:
1. District Endorsement (Please check with your district for their
endorsement process)
2. At Large: The remaining spots are selected based off the most
recent MV Standings List published before the draws are made.
Entering Multiple Age Divisions - For tournaments with
limited draw sizes, players may register online before the entry
deadline for 2 age divisions. Unless otherwise notified at
chambers@movalley.usta.com, the player will be placed in the older
age division should the player qualify for both divisions. If the
player does not qualify for either division, the player will be
placed on the alternates list of the older age division. The player
will be removed from the alternates list from the age division in
which they were not selected. Players can only be on the alternates
list for one division.
Doubles - Players must play the same age division in singles
and doubles, but you do not have to be in the singles draw to play
doubles.
There are two ways in which a team will be placed in the doubles
draw.
1. If both members of the team sign up with each other online, and
both have gained entry into singles they will be placed on the draw
at the time of singles selection. BOTH partners must have indicated
each other as partners to be considered. If both signed up together
online, but one of the players did not make the singles draw, it
will be necessary to follow step 2 below to confirm your
registration
2. After on-line singles registration closes, a team may be placed
in the draw by contacting the tournament director (information
above) with your partner's information by 12:00 PM on the Monday
before the start of the tournament. Both partners need to contact
the tournament director to verify the team. If both players do not
confirm with the tournament director, the team will not be accepted
into the draw. Again, if you registered for doubles correctly in
step 1, but one player did not make the singles draw, please
confirm with the tournament director that you would still like to
be considered for doubles only. If you do not confirm, it will be
assumed that you do not wish to play doubles.
If you do not have a partner, email the tournament director by the
above deadline and let them know you would like to be placed into
the blind draw.
Please make every effort to secure a partner and register correctly
prior to the entry deadline. This requires your partners USTA
number upon registration.
